Description

The Balvenie 14 Year Old Cuban Selection is a limited edition single malt Scotch whisky, bottled in 2009, that was primarily released for the French and mainland European markets. This expression is a testament to The Balvenie's innovative approach to cask finishing, having been matured in traditional oak whisky casks for 14 years before being finished in specially selected Cuban rum casks. This process enhances the whisky's vanilla notes and imparts spicy, aromatic qualities, creating a harmonious blend of Balvenie's signature elegance with the subtle depth of rum.
