About this bottle

Batch 6 of The Balvenie Tun 1401 is a combination of spirits from seven traditional whisky casks and two sherry butts, sourced from the distillery’s Warehouse 24. Malt Master David Stewart hand-selected these casks, which contain whiskies spanning several decades. The selected whiskies were then rested for months in the traditional oak marrying vessel, Tun 1401. This expression was created specifically for the U.S. market.

Fiona Lanier 5.0

Nose- signature honey comes through immediately giving way to sweet overripe blackberries Body- glowing warmth that comes from an incredibly well balanced peat that is noticeably more pervasive than other Balvenies, this peat is brilliantly balanced with honey drizzled berries placed on toast with salted butter Finish- the buttered toast comes through in the finish giving way to light cigar smoke and ocean brine Note- I had this at a bar in Atlanta, GA. This is by far the most impressive scotch selection that I have seen. I mean amazing (220 scotches) To this point, this is the best whiskey that I have ever had. Incredible complexity and balance.
