Tasting Notes

Nose

Rum poundcake — herbs, slight wax, raw almond, the Jamaican rum cask adding exotic sweetness to the Speyside foundation

Palate

Liquorice and golden sugar syrup — a bit of smoke, mild but long, the anise taste turning minty, warm winter melon, toffee, vanilla, tropical fruits, rum spice

Finish

Mild but long — anise turning minty, winter melon warmth, the rum cask adding a lingering tropical sweetness, elegant Speyside meets Caribbean sunshine

Expert Review

8/10

Finished in Jamaican rum casks — seventeen years of Speyside character enhanced by tropical rum sweetness. Rum poundcake, golden sugar syrup, toffee, vanilla, and tropical fruits with hints of rum spice. Another David Stewart MBE cask-finishing masterclass from The Balvenie.
