- Description
- Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 7 is a marriage of 21 hand-selected casks—four American oak barrels, 10 sherry butts, and seven hogsheads—blended in a traditional marrying tun at 52.4% ABV. The nose carries pronounced oak, dried fruits, raisins, dates, and warming spice, while the palate reveals candied citrus, vanilla, golden syrup, honeycomb, toasted hazelnuts, and ginger with notable length. The high cask count and wood diversity create layered complexity without sacrificing Balvenie's house character. This suits those seeking the distillery's most sophisticated wood-driven expression.
