This Balvenie 27yo is a single malt Scotch whisky. Produced at the iconic Balvenie distillery, this is the 8th release in the "a rare discovery from distant shores" collection.
This single malt was first aged for 20 years in traditional oak casks. It was then transferred to Caroni rum casks for 7 years.
Caroni is a legendary distillery in Trinidad (one of the 2 islands of Trinidad and Tobago). It closed its doors in 2002. The remaining casks sell for several thousand euros, and stock is gradually diminishing.
This cuvée would not have been possible without the friendship between David C. Stewart (cellar master at the Scottish distillery) and John Barett (head of Bristol Classic Rum).
