Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask [Free 2 Glasses] [700ML]

Description

Looking for a single malt that bridges Scottish tradition with Caribbean flair?

The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Years represents one of Scotland’s most innovative finishing techniques, where traditional Speyside craftsmanship meets tropical influence. This award-winning expression undergoes a unique dual maturation process – 14 years in traditional oak followed by finishing in hand-selected Caribbean rum casks. Malt Master David C. Stewart’s expertise shines through this complex creation, setting it apart from conventional offerings like the Glenfiddich Perpetual Collection 15 Years or Aberlour A’bunadh’s cask strength intensity.

• Distillery: The Balvenie – established 1892 in Speyside
• Region: Speyside – known for elegant, honeyed characteristics
• ABV: 40% – perfectly balanced for accessibility

Our team at Mr. Chow’s Liquor Store has found this expression particularly rewarding for those seeking complexity without overwhelming intensity. The rum cask influence adds distinctive tropical sweetness that develops beautifully in the glass.
