Balvenie Description
The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year old single malt whisky has been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, and then ‘finished’ in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. To create the ideal finish, Honorary Ambassador and Former Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE filled American Oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. The result is an exceptional single malt whisky with the traditional smooth, honeyed character of The Balvenie married with notes of toffee and a hint of fruit, with a warm, lingering finish.

Tropical fruit aromas spill from the glass: baked pineapple, strawberry-banana smoothie, orange peel, raisins, then a hint of sawdust. The palate is a decadent dessert spread, with rum-soaked fruitcake joined by chocolate truffles, raspberry coulis, cocoa powder, Nutella, and chocolate jellies. A touch of vanilla and strawberry milk on the lengthy finish; sure to further please chocolate lovers with rich chocolate frosting and chocolate mousse.

After regular maturation, this Scotch is extra matured in former rum casks. The end result layers rich, mouth-coating dried apricot, honey and Sherry notes on top of Balvenie s usual caramel and light peat profile. It finishes flavorful, though with a distinct burst of alcohol warmth.
