Balvenie – Tun 1509 Batch 8 Whisky

Batch 8 will be the final bottling in the distinguished and much-revered Tun 1509 series

To create Batch No. 8 David C. Stewart MBE carefully hand-selected eighteen of the finest casks – four ex-Bourbon barrels, six second fill Sherry butts, five refill puncheons and three new Sherry butts from the distilleries precious aged whiskies. These eighteen casks have spent three months in a traditional marrying Tun, knitting together.

Sweet notes of baked citrus tarts entwine with aromas of orange marmalade and maple syrup. This subtle zing is perfectly wrapped in a sweet nuttiness and overflowing spices. An unmistakable texture flows over the palate, rich, toffee sweetness, buttery vanilla and a swirl of house honey form the perfect sip. The initial sweetness from the perfectly toasted oak, dispels to reveal layers of candied ginger, a hint of cardamom & ground spices. The finish is oaky and ever lasting.
