Country: Scotland
Region: Speyside
Distillery: The Balvenie
Type: Single Malt
Flavor: Unpeated
Notes: The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 is smooth and sumptuous. It’s matured in oak whisky casks and finished in Caribbean rum casks that impart a special flavor. It smells of raisins and dates and sweet, sticky fruit. Molasses and brown sugar sweeten the scent. On the tongue, it tastes of grapes and spices, cinnamon and syrup. There are notes of warm baked apple with an edge of champagne brightness. The finish is long and smooth. It remembers rum in the best way. This is a dream of a dram, through and through.
