Launched in 2015, this limited-release is the second batch in the Balvenie Tun 1509 series. The follow-up to the Speyside distillery's popular Tun 1401 series, Tun 1509 is produced with a bigger marrying tun. For the Balvenie Tun 1509 Batch 2, Master Distiller David Stewart selected 32 casks varying in volume, strength and age - 18 traditional American oak barrels, 5 American oak casks, 7 sherry butts and 2 sherry hogsheads. The whisky was filled into Tun 1509 and allowed to marry in Warehouse 24 for several months before bottling. 8,500 bottles were produced. Bottled at a cask strength of 50.3%.

Nose: Luscious with aromas of honey, orange peel, sweet oak vanilla and a delicate ginger spiciness. 

Palate: Richly sweet, combining elegant honey with tangy citrus and gentle vanilla, overlain with subtle notes of cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering notes of fruit and spice.
