This fourth batch of the annual Tun 1509 release marries 31 casks that have been hand-selected by the Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart MBE.

Presented non chill-filtered at a strength of 51.7% abv.
Nose: sweet toffee, vanilla fudge and honeycomb for a rich and malty nose with some citrus and mild oak spice.
Palate: lusciously syrupy with honey and malty notes, developing into rich oak and dried fruits with cinnamon and ginger flashes.
Finish: honeyed with delicate spice and oak aspects.
