Now this is much, much different to the 12 DoubleWood. They mastered the rum cask finishing beautifully, as they keep it in the seasoned rum casks for just a few months so that the Scotch whisky can't be overpowered by the rum. You can feel that rum sweetness right away on the nose with tropical fruits, bananas and coconut as a compliment to the main, typical for Balvenie vanilla and honey character. Very pleasent vanilla and fruity sweetness on the palate as well. Again, beautiful work!
