Every drop of Tun 1509 Batch 7 encapsulates the very craftsmanship of The Balvenie, as David Stewart MBE expertly hand-selected 21 of the finest and most rare casks from the distillery stocks and married them together in the Tun–a large oak marrying vessel. The very process of knitting together liquids from a multitude of casks is a careful and complex art, but the rare technique of marrying the liquids in Tun 1509 provides the optimum environment for the whisky’s composite qualities to mix.

Alcohol, demineralised water to give final volume

The final liquid –a non-chill filtered whisky, left to marry for three months –is an expression of exemplary quality and unique character, greater than the sum of its constituent parts. It is intensely spicy with sweet aromas of dried fruits, notes of candied orange peel, golden syrup and honeycomb on the palate.
