Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch 8 70cl / 50.2%

A bottle of the eighth batch of The Balvenie Tun 1401. Named after Malt Master David Stewart's favourite marrying vat, this is a vatting of nine traditional whisky casks and three European oak sherry butts.

The Balvenie distillery was founded in 1889 by whisky pioneer William Grant, and has been in the same family for five generations. Today, it is one of the few family-owned distilleries in Scotland, producing whisky in a traditional style; using local barley where possible, and still maintaining their own malting floor.
