Whisky review: The Balvenie 14 ans Caribbean Cask, bottled @ 43%

-The long awaited rum Cask !

Colour: pale yellow, light straw, medium bodied.

Nose: vanilla, sugar canes, light wood sap, rum notes, agricultural rum,

Mouth: light vanilla, spices, nice sweet rum notes, sugar canes, white fruits, bit rough, hints of oranges.

Finish: lingering fruits, sugar canes notes, spices.

C+ for the price. 110$ seems a bit high considering its age as the Balvenie Doublewood goes for 84$.
A for presentation. Nice clean looking Balvenie.
B for the taste. Interesting rum finish, yet, a tad too sweet. It would have been nicer to try older rum cask to get more wood influence.
