History,
This is a rare interpretation of the marrying process, with each batch limited by the 8000L capacity of the tun itself, allowing these fine casks to come together to create a singular expression; a Balvenie greater than the sum of its constituent parts.
One batch is bottled each year and The Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 1 was launched in 2014.
Tasting Notes,
Nose: Oranges and mandarins, fresh peeled mandarins, spiced biscuits, apricots, flowers, nuts, zesty. The oranges and mandarins and apricots are abundant. A very nice nose! All coated in honey and a touch of vanilla.
Palate: It starts with the oranges and mandarins again, apricots, there is some kind of bitternes in there and spicy. Pepper of chilli is surfacing. Some raisins in there. I can sense the sherry and bourbon casks used.
Finish: A thick mouthfeel, a little bit chewy but definitely mouth coating. Caramel, sugar and honey. Little bit of spiciness left in the finish. Mouth watering.
