14 Year Old Caribbean Cask Whisky
Customer Rating
“Very difficult for me to only give this beautiful drink 4 stars. I do feel bad about this. But it isn't as nice as the 21 PortWood. However that is expensive and drinking this straight afterwards isn't really a problem. Basically, it's really good.”

Description
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.
Please Note: Tube designs may differ depending on availability.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
The aroma is rich with notes of tropical fruits, namely passion fruit, and creamy toffee.
Palate
Sweet vanilla forms a creamy palate with notes of apples and mangoes with a hint of orange in the background.
Finish
The finish lingers with a vanilla-focused character.
Overall
Mouth-coating and fruity with superb balance, this is an excellent new release from the chaps at Balvenie.
