Nose- signature honey comes through immediately giving way to sweet overripe blackberries Body- glowing warmth that comes from an incredibly well balanced peat that is noticeably more pervasive than other Balvenies, this peat is brilliantly balanced with honey drizzled berries placed on toast with salted butter Finish- the buttered toast comes through in the finish giving way to light cigar smoke and ocean brine Note- I had this at MacMcgee's in Atlanta, GA. This is by far the most impressive scotch selection that I have seen. I mean amazing (220 scotches) To this point, this is the best whiskey that I have ever had. Incredible complexity and balance.

About this bottle
The Balvenie Tun 1401, Batch 6 is a marriage of barrels from the distillery’s Warehouse 24 – an unrepeatable selection of spirits sourced from seven traditional whisky casks and two sherry butts, whose ages span a number of decades, and which have all been hand-selected by Malt Master David Stewart. The whisky was rested for several months in Tun 1401 – The Balvenie’s traditional oak marrying vessel. The expression has been exclusively created for the U.S. market.
