The Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch #2
Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Type: Single Malt
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 50.6%
Score: 92 Points
This Tun 1401 batch was released in Europe and Asian markets only. The nose is dry and spicy with allspice, vanilla, and toasted oak, with dried fruits becoming noticeable after a few minutes. The taste is spicy at first with a lingering cinnamon blast that fades slowly to reveal bananas and cream, honey, oak, and hints of vanilla that last through the lingering finish.
