Balvenie 14yr Caribbean Rum Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch

Balvenie 14yr Caribbean Rum Cask Finish Single Malt Scotch

Ships in 2-3 business days.

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 Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE filled American oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. When he judged the casks to be ready, the rum was replaced with the 14 year old spirit and the wood was put to work adding the final touches. 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.

NOSE
Rich, sweet and creamy toffee on the nose combines with fresh fruit notes

TASTE
Rounded with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time

FINISH
Soft and lingering

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.
