The whiskies were married in Tun 1509 for three months before being bottled at 50.4% abv. David Stewart, Balvenie malt master, described the whisky as having notes of ‘maple syrup, candied orange and runny honey’. He said: ‘Batch 6 is a truly remarkable liquid that showcases gorgeous character and rich depth produced during the marrying process. ‘This expression is sure to have whisky enthusiasts excited, much like the last Tun 1509 series we released a year ago.’ |
