The Balvenie Announces Tun 1401 Batch 5

A note from The Balvenie…

We hope you’ll be as excited as us to hear that Batch 5 of Tun 1401 is nearly here.

Crafted from nine of the rarest and most precious casks from the distillery – 4 sherry butts distilled in 1970, 1971, 1972, 1975 and 5 American oak casks from 1966, 1972, 1973, 1974 and 1991– this drop is the culmination of years of work. Our Malt Master David Stewart says:

“Working with whiskies of this age is both a delight and a challenge as their individual characteristics are so rich and complex. Five very rare crafts and a long wait have gone into making these vintage whiskies.”

It will surely be worth the wait David. However, in the meantime, why not prepare yourself for its release and take a peek at these tasty tasting notes?

Slaine Mhath!
