Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask [700ML]

Description

What happens when traditional Scottish craftsmanship meets the exotic warmth of Caribbean rum casks?

The Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask represents a masterful innovation from Speyside’s most traditional distillery. This single malt Scotch whisky undergoes a unique dual maturation process – first aging 14 years in traditional oak casks, then finishing in hand-selected Caribbean rum barrels chosen by legendary Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE. For those exploring premium cask-finished expressions, consider comparing with the Aberlour A’bunadh Alba’s virgin oak influence or the GlenDronach’s sherry cask complexity.
