Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year Old
Regular price $159.00
In early 1892, work began to convert an 18th-century mansion, Balvenie New House, into a distillery.
The Balvenie Distillery took fifteen months to complete, and on 1 May 1893, the first distillation took place. During construction, Grant had to save a bit on the equipment, so he purchased used stills from the Lagavulin distillery.
The Balvenie Distillery underwent a complete renovation in 1971, increasing their stills from 4 to 9 (5 wash stills and 4 spirit stills), which may explain why Balvenie did not have official distillery bottling until 1973.
Today, Balvenie has a wide range of core distillery expressions. David Stewart MBE, Balvenie's Malt Master, began working with William Grant & Sons in 1962 and is one of the industry's most experienced experts.
The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14-year-old single malt whisky is matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years and then finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum.
Nose: Rich, sweet and creamy toffee on the nose combines with fresh fruit notes
Palate: Rounded with vanilla and sweet oak notes, with a fruity character that develops with time
Finish: Soft and lingering
