THE BALVENIE 'Caribbean Cask' 14 Year Old Speyside Single Malt Scotch Whisky Bottle (70cl) 43%abv - VERY LIMITED

Description

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. In fact, to create it, Balvenie malt master David C. Stewart MBE made his very own blend of West Indian rums, filled it into casks, and then eventually replaced the rum in said casks with Balvenie's whisky! The fabulous result is a well-rounded whisky with notes of toffee, fruit and vanilla.

Nose: Brown sugar, butter and nutmeg with shortbread, golden syrup and sweet Muscat grapes.
Palate: Apples, lemons, icing sugar and brown toast, with syrup, caramel and toffee popcorn.
Finish: White toast with Golden Syrup, freshly sawn oak and a touch of stewed apple.
