I would call The Caribbean offering by Balvenie more or less an "accent bottle." In my cabinet, I tend to keep four scotch bottles open: one sherry cask, one smoky-peaty, one savory, and an accent. Sherry sweetness mixed with oak, honey and vanilla with mild nutmeg and cinnamon spice at the end. Bits of dried fruit and nuts. Not as complex as I expected. Medium body. The Balvenie Distillery is a Speyside distillery in the Convals in Dufftown, Scotland, owned by William Grant and Sons. William Grant started as a bookkeeper at Mortlach distillery 1866, where he learned the distilling trade. After about twenty years at the Mortlach, he bought a piece of land near Balvenie Castle.

Occasionally I notice a hint of something like ginger as it fades. Maintains a solid grip on the mouth. You will have to read my review of the Balvenie 14 Caribbean Cask that will begin as soon as this sentence concludes. About the Distillery Finish: Sugarcane again, only mildly sweet, with ginger and lime zest. Short and simple, but pleasant and with no disturbances. A surprising effect is that after a minute, you feel you are exhaling cocoa powder through your nose. Nose: typical clean Balvenie base malt with a sweet overlay, and more than the usual amount of wood influence for a Balvenie of its age. Easy, gentle, pleasant. Typical Balvenie citrus with a hint of grassiness. My first full bottle did not start out as an integrated product, but became very tasty after the bottle was open about a month. All other samples I have tasted were quite good from the start. Water added adds some nice sweet high-pitched notes. Very nice nose with water. Score: 21.5/25

The finish lingers on for a while, medium, and the roasted elements come to the forefront. Like the scrapings of a burnt toast of brown bread left for too long. To create The Balvenie Caribbean Cask (43% ABV), single malt whisky is first matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years before being finished in ex-Caribbean rum casks. A unique expression of The Balvenie, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE fills American oak casks with his blend of select West Indian rums. Once ready, the rum is replaced with the 14-year-old spirit, and the rum-infused wood imparts the final touches to this unique whisky. Nose2: Richer but still light. It has a touch more butter than before, now sitting on wheat bread. I can imagine this buttered bread slice has a very light honey on it-- However, I still find that sweet element closer to sugarcane than honey. Probing further, the fruit is now a red apple slice.

This is an apparently relatively new addition to this distillery's standard range (I think since around 2010). It is a blend of 12 year old malts matured separately in ex-bourbon and ex-Oloroso casks, which are finished together for a further two years in ex-Carribean rum casks (the rum in the casks is itself a combination of select West Indian rums blended by Malt Master David Stewart).

In a medium saucepan, add the granulated sugar and 1 cup water and bring to a simmer. Once the mixture is clear and all the sugar has dissolved, add the toasted coconut and allow to steep for 1 hour at room temperature. Chewy with tropical fruits, passion fruit and mango come to mind in particular, with a little peach. Sugar cane, molasses then some citrus in a subtle way and it’s also laced with golden honey.
