This Balvenie has had a finish in a rum cask from the Caribbean. For years, malt master David Steward has been experimenting with fourteen-year-old Balvenie.

This fantastic whisky takes you on a journey through a broad flavor palette, with exotic fruit, ripe banana, and lime peel on the nose. Holding a small sip in the mouth a little longer ensures that the spicy notes are tamed and slowly disappear under the tongue, then release a fountain of aromas. Pineapple, coconut, and chocolate transition to toffee and caramel, interspersed with spicy herbs, which especially return first in the next sip...
