The Balvenie has announced the latest addition to its collection of single malts in the UK, The Balvenie 14 Year Old Caribbean Cask.

The release is one of a number of launches that The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, is making available in the UK to coincide with the 50th anniversary of him joining the distillery.

This whisky has had a 14 year maturation period in oak whisky casks, before being transferred to casks that previously held Caribbean rum to finish its ageing process.

Stewart said: “We’ve found that many years maturation in traditional oak whisky casks followed by a few months of rum cask maturation complements The Balvenie single malt very well.

“This expression is a beautifully rounded 14-year-old whisky that combines traditional Balvenie vanilla notes with rich toffee, a hint of fruit and a warm, lingering finish.”

Available nationwide at an RRP of £42, it is now part of the already established range of The Balvenie Single Malts – 12 Year Old DoubleWood, 12 Year Old Signature, 15 Year Old Single Barrel, 21 Year Old PortWood and the 30 Year Old.

Weird... This has been around for a few years now. I've probably consumed half a dozen bottles. It's one of my favorites!
