Balvenie 27 Year Old Distant Shores Caroni Rum Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 700mL

This is the story of a rare Caribbean rum maturation that begins not in a distillery warehouse, but amongst the glistening bottle-lined shelves of The Balvenie’s Sample Room…

A whisky finished in ex-Caroni rum casks for a taste that develops from velvety vanilla sweetness to treacle toffee, aged leather and deep oak tannin.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Rich and indulgent with notes of Muscovado sugar and Manuka honey. Lighter fruit notes intersperse the aroma with occasional hints of green banana and light spice.

Taste: Beautifully smooth with a velvet vanilla viscosity. The initial burst of sweetness graduates to treacle toffee, aged leather and deep oak tannin.

Finish: Lingering sweet with a wonderful mouth-coating oiliness.
