The Balvenie RumCask 17 Year Old was matured first in traditional oak whisky casks before spending a second period of maturation in rum casks shipped from five thousands miles away in Jamaica.

The long maturation in traditional oak whisky casks gives this 17 Year Old its characteristic Balvenie vanilla notes, while the finishing period in rum cask adds a further layer of richness, warmth and spice. The result immediately evokes the warm climes of the sugar cane growing area of the Tropics - an intensely floral and fruity nose and a beautifully sweet taste with subtle spiciness, enveloped in a gentle silky oakiness.

The RumCask 17 Year Old Single Malt is a limited edition which will be available in the UK, our online shop and limited markets worldwide.
