After a 14 year maturation period in traditional oak whisky casks, the Balvenie is then transferred to the rum casks, leading to an exceptional Single Malt that exemplifies the signature smooth, honeyed character of the Balvenie, while adding unique notes of toffee and fruit that come from its innovative cask finish.
This exciting new expression follows the acclaim of 2008's limited edition Balvenie 17 Year Old Rum Cask, and the subsequent popularity of rum cask-finished whiskies, with a whisky that bears all the hallmarks of the Balvenie, but with an added level of complexity that comes from finishing the whisky in casks that once held Caribbean rum.
To create the ideal finish, Honorary Ambassador and Former Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE filled American Oak casks with his own blend of select West Indian rums.
Oak Cask
This Single Malt spent many years maturing in traditional whisky oak casks before being transferred to casks that previously held Caribbean rum for a final period of maturation.
Rum Cask
Further maturation in Caribbean rum casks enhance The Balvenie's vanilla notes, whilst adding spicy aromatic qualities to the whisky.
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.
