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.
Cask finished
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.
First Cask | Oak Cask
This Single Malt spent many years maturing in traditional whisky oak casks before being transferred to casks that previously held Caribbean rum for a final period of maturation.
Second Cask | Rum Cask
Further maturation in Caribbean rum casks enhance The Balvenie's vanilla notes, whilst adding spicy aromatic qualities to the whisky.
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.
Colour: Bright gold color.
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.
