The Balvenie 14 Year Caribbean Cask

The BalvenieN/A43% ABV

Speyside sophistication finished in sweet Caribbean rum casks

This exceptional single malt is matured in traditional oak casks for 14 years before being finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. The result is a beautifully rounded whisky with notes of tropical fruit and sweet vanilla, followed by a warm, lingering finish.

The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1892 by William Grant in Dufftown, Scotland, The Balvenie has spent over a century perfecting the craft of single malt production. Under the guidance of legendary Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, the distillery pioneered the cask finishing technique that defines this expression.

How it is made

The Balvenie is crafted at a classic Speyside distillery & rickhouse where ancient traditions are preserved. It remains one of the few distilleries that still grows its own barley, malts on a traditional malting floor, and employs an on-site coppersmith and team of coopers.
