The Belvenie Caribbean cask (75cl)

A terrific single malt from The Balvenie. This Speysider was initially aged in traditional oak casks before it was finished in casks which previously held Caribbean rum, imparting some extra sweetness and warmth to the whiskey.

Nose The aroma is rich with notes of tropical fruits, namely passion fruit, and creamy toffee.

Palate Sweet vanilla forms a creamy palate with notes of apples and mangoes with a hint of orange in the background.

Finish The finish lingers with a vanilla focussed character.

Overall Mouth-coating and fruity with superb balance, this is an excellent new release from the chaps at Balvenie.
