The Balvenie 27yo "A Rare Discovery from Distant Shores" is a single malt Scotch whisky, matured for 27 years with the final 7 years spent in oak casks that previously held Caroni rum. As the eighth release in The Balvenie's "Rare Discoveries" series, this expression pays tribute to the enduring friendship between David C. Stewart, The Balvenie's Malt Master, and John Barret, a traveling salesman. With a strength of 48% ABV, this whisky is a rich and indulgent expression of The Balvenie's craftsmanship.
Caroni, a legendary rum distillery in Trinidad that ceased operations in 2002, left behind highly coveted barrels. These rare Caroni rum casks have imparted a unique flavor profile to this whisky, which includes velvety vanilla, treacle toffee, aged leather, and deep oak tannin. Initially aged for 20 years in traditional oak casks, the whisky was then transferred to the Caroni rum casks for an additional 7 years of maturation.
The nose reveals enticing aromas of manuka honey, underripe banana, spices, brown sugar, and vanilla. On the palate, the whisky is smooth and sumptuous, delivering flavors of maple syrup, toffee, oak, vanilla, leather, and tannin. The finish is long, warm, and culminates in notes of vanilla and caramel. Presented in a bespoke illuminated tube, this limited edition whisky is a celebration of friendship, creativity, and The Balvenie's commitment to craftsmanship.
