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. This is a whisky that bears all the hallmarks of Balvenie, with an added level of complexity that comes from finishing the whisky in casks that once held Caribbean rum. 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.
