Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Yr

The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is created by maturing The Balvenie first in traditional oak whisky casks before transferring the whisky to casks previously used to mature Caribbean rum. The resulting liquid has rich, sweet and creamy toffee on the nose combined with fresh fruit notes. The taste is rounded with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time, all encompassed in a soft and lingering finish. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks or with a splash of water to expand the flavor. Nestled in the picturesque surroundings of Dufftown, Speyside, The Balvenie distillery has been handcrafting whisky for more than 130 years, notably the most handcrafted of single malts. Nowhere else can you find a distillery that grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional floor maltings and still employs a team of coopers to tend to the casks alongside a coppersmith to maintain the stills. With a team committed to ultimate craftsmanship, their dedicated characters pour their soul and obsession into every single bottle. This demonstrates that, whilst it takes skill to make something great, it takes true heart to make it extraordinary. And of course, Malt Master Kelsey McKechnie who presides over the all-important maturation process. Founded in 1892 by William Grant, The Balvenie Single Malt Scotch Whisky is produced by William Grant & Sons Ltd, an award-winning independent family-owned distiller and today run by his direct descendants. Each expression has a very individual taste, rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie. Handcrafted to be enjoyed responsibly.
