To make The Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask, David Stewart MBE takes whisky that has spent at least 14 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels oak casks, before transferring it to casks that once contained Caribbean rum. This allows the first casks to slowly impart the familiar flavours of The Balvenie – that characterful taste of vanilla and smooth rich honey. The result is an exceptional single malt whisky, acquiring the traditional smooth, honeyed character of The Balvenie, married with notes of toffee, a hint of fruit, with a warm, lingering finish.
