Balvenie 1401 Tun Now available to order via The Whisky Shop! – The Whisky Shop has received a very limited amount…
To produce it the Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart selected 10 premium casks from his warehouses and these have been put together in a vessel called a tun. This is a large barrel/cask, which is traditionally made of oak, where different whiskies are allowed to ‘marry together’ for some time. In this batch, he chose to again use one of the finest tuns at Balvenie for this marrying process – tun number 1401 – which took three months. The range of the 10 casks selected is interesting – one from 1967, one from 1989 and the other eight from the 1970s, mostly the early part of the decade. Seven are ex-bourbon casks and three are ex-sherry casks. The Tun 1401 Batch 2 has an alcohol strength of 50.6% ABV and is available from the Whisky Shop for £149.99
