About this bottle

A single malt Scotch whisky from Scotland, Balvenie Tun 1401 Batch #3 Single Malt Scotch Whisky is part of the Spirit Hives whiskey selection. It is bottled at 50.3% ABV, in a 750 ml bottle. Producer tasting notes — on the nose: Rich and oaky with an abundance of oak tannin, dried fruits, beeswax and old leather. A little water brings out lighter, more delicate floral notes and green, leafy aromas; on the palate: Luxurious and deep with many layers of vanilla oak, oily tannins, rich woody spices and sweet fruits. The initial sweetness gradually develops into deeper, richer oak and is interspersed with bursts of cinnamon, nutmeg, citrus and dark chocolate; finish: Exceptionally long and oaky.

Serving & pairing

Serve neat with a few drops of water to open the aromas. Lighter styles suit smoked salmon and shortbread; peated styles suit blue cheese and oysters.

Single malt or blended Scotch?

Single malt means one distillery, 100% malted barley, pot stills. Blended Scotch mixes malt whisky from several distilleries with lighter grain whisky, aiming for consistency and approachability. Blended malt (no grain whisky) sits between the two. Neither is inherently better; single malts show one distillery’s character while good blends show balance.

First Scotch

Peat without the leap of faith.

“I wanted Islay without buying a wall of smoke. The tasting notes on Spirit Hives pointed to a gentler malt. It opened a door instead of slamming one.”
