Description

Part of The Balvenie Stories collection, this 27-year-old single malt was finished for seven years in rare ex-Caroni rum casks from Trinidad after an initial 20 years in American oak. It celebrates the friendship and creative collaboration between Malt Master David C. Stewart and John Barrett of Bristol Spirits, who brought the Caroni casks to the distillery's attention.
