The Balvenie TUN 1858 Batch 5
The Balvenie TUN 1858 Batch 5
To create The Balvenie Tun 1858 Batch No.5, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE carefully hand selected 10 different casks - four European oak sherry butts and six traditional oak barrels - from the distillery’s precious aged stocks. All were transferred to Tun 1858, where the whisky was left to marry for several months before being bottled at the distillery.
