Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 1 Now Available at The Whisky Shop – Scotch Whisky News
The Whisky Shop is delighted to introduce the first Balvenie Tun 1509 limited release.
The first Balvenie Tun 1509 release will be a no age statment, 47.1% abv, non-chill-filtered whisky comprised of 42 casks selected by malt master David Stewart, including 35 American oak barrels and seven European oak Sherry butts.
As with Tun 1401, all the casks have been allowed to marry together for a period of several months within Warehouse 24.
Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, explains how the whisky has been created:
’I’ve carefully considered each of the 42 whiskies in turn and they all bring something different to the table; combinations of spice, oak, delicacy and sweetness.
“This particular whisky has exceptional character; deep and rich on the nose, with floral notes, sweet vanilla and orange peel. Then it’s velvety smooth to taste with tangy citrus, mellow cinnamon spice and blossom honey.
