Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 Year

Glass; Glencairn rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Vanilla and a hint of rum. Palate: Vanilla, leather, a bit of peat smoke Finish: Warm, medium-long, with more leather. Overall: 8/10 - One of my favorite expressions from Balvenie. The aging in rum casks imparts a sweetness that's a nice compliment to the leather and peat. Very smooth, nice finish.

TBD

Both the nose and palate are very light. Toffee is present on the nose while the palate is sweet at the front with honey and vanilla. Can’t seem to find the tropical fruits. Very smooth but could use a touch more flavor.
