Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask is a seductive single malt whisky that combines Scottish craftsmanship with exotic rum cask ageing. After 14 years of maturation in traditional oak casks, the whisky is given an extra finish in casks that previously contained Caribbean rum. The result is a harmonious combination of the classic body of Speyside and the warm, sweet character of rum.
The aroma entices with ripe fruits, vanilla, creamy caramel and a touch of spice. On the tongue you are greeted by a silky texture with layers of flavors of toffee, honey, mango, orange and a hint of fresh coconut. The finish is long, warm and rounded with a sweet, tropical elegance.
Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask is perfect for those who love classic Scottish single malt but want an exotic twist.
