Balvenie, 14 finished in Carribean Rum Casks.

Picked up a bottle of The Balvenie, 14 finished in Caribbean Rum Casks. It was not really expensive as other scotch finished in Rum Casks, about $55.00. My favorite Scotch is Glenfiddich 21, finished in rum casks but it is much more expensive, 2-3 times as much.
This scotch was very nice. Smooth with a hint of vanilla and a nice short sweetness. I highly recommend it for the price.

Enjoy.

Agreed, good sir. The Caribbean Cask 14 is a tasty single-malt; a little spicier than the Balvenie's 12-year (doublewood) or 15-year (single barrel). If you really want a treat, give their 21-year Portwood a go. Finished off in port wine tubes, it's some of the smoothest stuff out there (IMHO).

Thanks for the advice, I'll try the 21 soon!

I'm going to have to pick up a bottle; that sounds like good stuff!

I got a bottle of the Golden Cask - which is available in European Duty Free ONLY *grrr* and it too is finished in rum casks. I shared it with my half-marathon running group after our last race in October, and even the non-scotch drinkers among us enjoyed it. If you are in Europe and can get to a duty free, this is an excellent scotch.
