Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old Single Malt Whisky

The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts created by David C. Stewart MBE, The Balvenie Malt Master. Their Core Range gains its distinctive character from maturation in two distinct cask types in succession, a proprietary process pioneered by David in 1983 with The Balvenie Classic. Each whisky has its own unique taste, but each is rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie.
Balvenie’s whisky-making process is dedicated to maintaining the Five Rare Crafts and it is the only distillery in Scotland that still grows its own barley, uses traditional floor maltings and keeps both a coppersmith and a team of coopers on site.

The Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old is 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.

    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 with a vanilla focussed character.
