About the Producer:
Caribbean Cask has been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years, and then finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum.
To create the ideal finish, Malt Master David Stewart filled American oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. When he judged the casks to be ready, the rum was replaced with the 14 year old spirit and the wood was put to work adding the final touches.
The result is an exceptional single malt whisky with the traditional smooth, honeyed character of The Balvenie, married with notes of toffee and a hint of fruit, with a warm, lingering finish.
Tasting Notes
NOSE: Rich, sweet and creamy toffee on the nose combines with fresh fruit notes

"The aromas are sweet and spiced with toffee and baking spices. Fruity notes come out in the mouth, along with creamy vanilla, and warming spices of mace and clove. The finish is wooded and full of nutmeg."
92 Pts - Wine & Spirits Enthusiast"Lovely bright gold color. 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). Nice viscosity with good grip on the finish. I really like the balance and complexity of this whisky. A very solid effort and the price is right." - Whisky Advocate
