Firstly, we mature the Caribbean Cask in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years. And then finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum. Malt Master David Stewart filled American oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums. Then he will judge when the casks will be ready. Then, he will replace the rum with the 14 year old spirit and the wood was put to work adding the final touches. The result is an exceptional single malt whisky with the traditional smooth, honeyed character of The Balvenie, married with notes of toffee and a hint of fruit, with a warm, lingering finish.
At The Balvenie we stay true to our Five Rare Crafts, making whisky the way we always have. Our craftsmen have an intimate understanding of their materials and a desire to make the very best whisky possible. Our process is a combination of expertise, skill and ambition which gives The Balvenie its unique character. Allow us to demonstrate.
