On the nose, I find a lovely array of raisins, pears, apples, and the faintest hint of cinnamon. The nose is really quite pleasing and draws you back in repeatedly.
On the palate, it seems to bring forth dry oak notes surrounded by layers of spice and pepper. Also, there is a faint red fruit note on the finish.
On the whole, this is a good whisky all-around, with the signature Balvenie quality. However, the nose is the true star here.
Find where to buy Balvenie whisky
This is slowly becomming 1 of my favorites from the Balvenie Distillery...
Last night I enjoyed a dram, and as with any whisky - I always nose my Canadian Glencairn the next morning...With the 14 yr Caribbean Cask there's a very nice strong hint of brown sugar/maple syrup; must be the rum cask influence.
Of all the Balvenie's I've purchased it's becomming clear that the Caribbean Cask is arguably the most consistent, and never lets me down.
