Product Description

Specially Selected Balvenie - Finished in Casks That Previously Held Rum Distilled in the Caribbean Further maturation in Caribbean Rum casks enhances The Balvenie's vanilla notes ~ whilst adding spicy aromatic qualities to the whisky. Caribbean Cask The traditional crafts of malt whisky making still flourish at the Balvenie Distillery. The Balvenie Distillery has been owned and managed by the same independent family company for five generations. Nowhere else will you find a distillery that still grows its own barley, still malts in its own traditional floor maltings and still employs a team of coopers to tend all the casks and a coppersmith to maintain the stills. The fifth rare craft is that of Malt Master, David Stweart. Over fifty years of experience enables him to skillfully use different types of cask and different ages of spirit to craft The Balvenie range of single malts. Each expression has a distinctive taste, but all share a rich, honeyed character. Warehouse 24 is The Balvenie's community for whisky enthusiasts who want to delve a little deeper into the world of the handcrafted single malt. Our Own Cooperage Our cooper's skills are passed down through the generations. The tools they use are often as old as the craft itself. Display Tubes/Boxes: Display boxes subject to availability.

Broad aromas of banana, vanilla, coconut and tobacco bear witness to the finish in the rum cask. A very dense structure in the mouth that fully reflects the flavour impressions. Complex, long finish.

Entered as The Balvenie Caribbean Rum Cask 14 year old, 43%Layers of sweetness (the characteristic Balvenie honey, along with vanilla fudge, nougat, and rich toffee) peppered with dried spice and a hint of tropical fruit (papaya, guava, tangerine). … I really like the balance and complexity of this whisky.
Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2015
The end result layers rich, mouth-coating dried apricot, honey and Sherry notes on top of Balvenie's usual caramel and light peat profile. It finishes flavorful, though with a distinct burst of alcohol warmth.

Distiller · Stephanie Moreno
To be successful, the rum should just enhance the whisky, not overpower it. The Balvenie have done well here. Tropical fruits, vanilla, and honey are present, but it isn't intensely molasses or funky.
