Balvenie 14-year-old Caribbean Cask, / 43% / 0.7l
- There is no doubt that for any whisky aficionado David Stewart, Balvenie legendary Malt Master, is THE MAN.
Product description
Another offering from David Sewart, legendary Balvenie Master Distiller. Although Mr Stewart’s CV lists one employer, it would take pages to list the awards and accolades bestowed upon his creations.
In 2008, Balvenie 17 year old Rum Cask debuted, finished in Jamaican rum barrels. Caribbean Cask experiences a different production cycle. American oak barrels are filled with a blend of Caribbean rums, and when David feels the time is right, he empties them of rum and fills them with 14 year old Balvenie for a few months.
Nose: rich, sweet, creamy with notes of tropical fruits, toffee, caramel and flower stall.
Taste: sweet and balanced, vanilla, brown sugar, marshmallows and ripe fruit, a trace of young oak.
Finish: delicate and sweet, baked apples, caramel and oak.
