The Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 6

The Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 6 is a Speyside single malt presenting rich and intensely fruity character on the nose, a spicy outburst then deep sherry sweetness on the palate, and a lingering luscious finish of dried fruit and elegant oaky notes — from Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE’s hand-selection of the finest and rarest casks from The Balvenie warehouse, married in Tun 1509 in Warehouse 24.

Each Tun 1509 batch is unique and unrepeatable — David Stewart selects a specific set of the finest and rarest casks from the distillery’s Dufftown warehouse for each release, marries them together in the large oak Tun 1509 vessel, and bottles the result at natural colour without chill filtration. The specific cask combination changes with each batch, making every release a distinct expression from the same programme. Browse all Balvenie at Wooden Cork.
