NV The Balvenie 27yo - Distant Shores: Caroni Rum Cask (48%)
Buying options
Tasting notes
This special 27-year-old single malt spent two decades slumbering in ex-Bourbon barrels before it was transferred into astonishingly rare casks from the fabled lost Trinidad rum producer Caroni for seven years. The resulting liquid, bottled as part of The Balvenie’s ever-popular Stories Collection, is remarkably rich, characterful and indulgent. This is a rare opportunity to taste a Speyside single malt finished in some of the last known casks from the fabled Trinidad icon. Please note, quantities are extremely scarce and therefore orders are limited to one bottle per customer.
