The Tun 1509 series began in 2014, when David Stewart created blends that he married for three months in the Tun 1509 in question. Batch No. 6 therefore contains 21 different casks, all of which are said to be at least 21 years old, although this is not mentioned on the bottle.

 

 

 

Let's Taste It : 

Very fine nose, cereals and sherry coated in balanced bourbon, like genoise, snow-whipped eggs, melting meringue, caramel and, of course, vanilla. Chantilly cream, set with crushed hazelnuts. paris-brest, amandine. Fruity, very delightful on the palate too, pear, apple, white plum, rum raisins, strawberry, very long finish, rising to a long crescendo. At the end, earth and wine lees, heather, walnuts, a hint of blackcurrant. A very fine piece of work.

 

In Short, 

It really is an incredible delicacy. Don't hesitate to buy it if you can afford it, because the price is extravagant.

Score : 89
