Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 5
Single Malt
Balvenie // Speyside, Scotland
The Balvenie Tun 1401, Batch 5 is a marriage of barrels from the distillery’s Warehouse 24. Bottled in 2012, this is a vatting of five ex-bourbon casks in four ex-sherry butts, whose ages span a number of decades, and which have all been hand-selected by Malt Master David Stewart.
The whisky was rested for several months in Tun 1401 – The Balvenie’s traditional oak marrying vessel. Released exclusively for the European market.

Tasting Notes
"Strong and vibrant aromas of polished leather, menthol and tobacco leaves. A few minutes in the glass and lighter notes appear, like fresh apples and orange juice. The palate displays lots of citrus--oranges, lemons, pink grapefruit. However, there's also room for leather, menthol and a whiff of smoke, as well as some spices and honey. Legendary whisky."
