Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE crafts unique expressions that are designed to surprise and excite the drinker. Always underlying notes of sweet honey, complimented by flavour taken on during the double maturation process.
CARRIBEAN CASK 14
AGED 14 YEARS
The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 year old single malt whisky 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 C. Stewart MBE 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.
