The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old is a unique single malt whisky, aged for 14 years in traditional oak casks and finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE carefully selected West Indian rums to influence the whisky's final character. The result is a smooth, honeyed Balvenie whisky with layers of toffee, fruit, and a warm, lingering finish.

Distillery

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.

TASTING NOTES
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
