Balvenie TUN 1509 - Batch 5
70 cl. / 52,6 %
Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky
Distillery Bottling
The fifth Balvenie Tun 1509 release is an non aged statement whisky with a 52,6% abv, non-chill-filtered whisky comprised of 29 casks. These are then married together, creating a syrupy whisky with notes of malt, honey, dried fruit, cinnamon and ginger. As with Tun 1401, all the casks have been allowed to marry together for a period of several months within Warehouse 24. The aim is to produce a similar whisky to the wonderful malt that marked each released as Tun 1401.
About The Balvenie The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts created by David Stewart, The Balvenie Malt Master. Each has a very individual taste, but each is rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie. Little has changed at Balvenie Distillery over the years. Uniquely we still employ all the traditional crafts of malt whisky making, which is why The Balvenie tastes the way it does. Born in Ayr on the west coast of Scotland in 1945, David Stewart joined William Grant & Sons in 1962, the year before Single Malt Scotch Whisky was first officially exported to England. He was appointed the distiller’s Malt Master in 1974 and his renowned ability to identify the finest casks of whisky for maturation has helped William Grant & Sons earn the Distiller of the Year accolade an unprecedented eight times (2010, 2009, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2001, 2000 and 1999). The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced by William Grant & Sons Ltd, an award-winning independent family-owned distiller founded by William Grant in 1886 and today run by his direct descendants.
