The Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 5, is married from nine casks of the distillery’s characteristic spirit.

David Stewart said: “Working with whiskies of this age is both a delight & a challenge, their individual characteristics are so rich & complex. Determining which of the vintage whiskies will work together takes time and it is important to do justice to them
Upon pouring, a fragrant fruit nose before sweet vanilla emerges alongside honey & spices. A smooth balance between sweetness & oak tannin, underpinning a sherried character full of dried fruits, cinnamon & ginger spiciness. Rich, sweet and spicy. Bottled at 50.1% volume.
