Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 3
Details
The new edition/batch of the Tun 1509 - Batch 3.
Malt Master David Stewart is one of the most respected experts when it comes to marrying whisky casks.
Following on from his highly regarded Tun 1509 and Batch 2, comes Tun 1509 Batch 3.
Larger than its predecessor, Tun 1509 allows David to select a wider range of component casks.
All the casks used have been allowed to marry together and sit for several months in Warehouse 24 before bottling.
The result - Rich complexity with elegant oaky notes and dried fruits balanced by mellow cinnamon spices and ginger. To taste it is luxurious with many layers of vanilla oak, rich woody spices, dark fruits and a definite sherry character iterspersed with elegant honey.
In short, this is a truly exceptional expression.
The packaging also includes the flavour map from the whisky itself, as it fairly takes you on a complex journey!
