A terrific single malt from The Balvenie. This Speysider was initially aged in traditional oak casks before it was finished in casks which previously held Caribbean rum, imparting some extra sweetness and warmth to the whisky. In fact, to create it, Balvenie malt master David C. Stewart made his very own blend of West Indian rums, filled it into casks, and then eventually replaced the rum in said casks with Balvenie's whisky! The fabulous result is a well-rounded whisky with notes of toffee, fruit and vanilla.
The aroma is rich with notes of tropical fruits, namely passion fruit, and creamy toffee.
Sweet vanilla forms a creamy palate with notes of apples and mangoes with a hint of orange in the background.
The finish lingers with a vanilla-focused character.
Mouth-coating and fruity with superb balance, this is an excellent new release from the chaps at Balvenie.

Lik doublewood i smaken men mycket tamare, nästan som att dricka vatten, smakfattig!, Doublewood alla dagar i veckan jämte denna!
You need a hair of water to bring out the oils and taste but the smoothest I've had in a while.
Very smooth... one of my favorites!!! Not as smokey or peating as Ardbeg or Lagavulin!! Will not disappoint even a seasoned veteran of scotch... enjoy!
I love this scotch because it's exactly what it's supposed be , it should taste like scotch With a hint of rum , you can taste the rum at the finish , for the people that are disappointed don't forget you bought whiskey not rum that should have a hint of whiskey , I'm giving four stars just because it's a little bit weak
A big disappointment to me...weak palate and finisch. Thankfully i only bought a sample.
