Palate: Apples, lemons, icing sugar and brown toast, with syrup, caramel and toffee popcorn.
Finish: White toast with Golden Syrup, freshly sawn oak and a touch of stewed apple.

Man am I bummed out about this one. I had just tried the extremely pleasant Balvenie 12 Doublewood and was really looking forward to the Caribbean cask. The taste was basically straight rum; not whisky with notes of rum. There's a strong burn and medicinal taste. I couldn't get any of the flavors mentioned in the tasting notes because the rum was just too strong.
-
A very nice, rich whisky
-
If you want to introduce someone to scotch this would be a good choice. I enjoyed the double wood as well but this is the one I will buy from now on. I am going to enjoy my third bottle over the next few months.
-
Excellent dram, definitely a toffee flavour in there, but it has way more complexity to.
-
There is no doubt this has a less strong taste and is much smoother then the Balvenie 12 year old doublewood. This 14 year old is smooth to drink and it definitely has a toffee smell. However even here its ranked a 4 for sweetness and Balevine even says on the bottle that it has fruity flavour. I love sweet whiskies and I don't get a massive sweet or fruity taste. It is not a bad whisky but I think there are other whiskies out there in the 12 to 14 year old market that are much better value, for example the Clynelish 14 year old.
-
Enjoying it right now. So smooth. Classic whisky taste with a sweet toffee finish. Fantastic.
-
I'm usually a Macallan man but I decided to try something different at my local cigar bar. Man was I pleasantly surprised by this Balvenie 14. I'll be adding a bottle of this to my scotch collection for sure.
-
A favourite of mine however my most recent bottle was not as warm and smooth as previous ones. Hopefully a one off!
-
Absolutely great. Complex profile and smooth finish. Delicious.
-
Excellent taste for any occasion. A little sweet and very smooth.
-
Not worth the price, bland taste, go with the McCallan 12.
-
I bought this for my Xmas stash. Sadly it's almost gone. I have enjoyed every drop. I will buy this again.
-
Awesome
-
My goto Scotch. Smooth from the first sip with no huge burn. I would recommend this to any and all Scotch drinkers new or old!!!!!!!!!
-
With its strong whiskey taste, it is a smooth full flavour 5 star drink one to drink after everyone has gone home and you've locked the door and sit by an open fire perfect .
-
an absolute Beaut. bought one in Inverarary but havent opened it yet, have sampled it though, at the Balvenie distillery tour in September this year. rich and creamy, with toffee and fresh fruit, plum anf vanilla, along wit sweet oak 10/10 on this one for me. opening the bottle at Christmas
-
This Balvenie is just stunning, far better than the 12 year old
-
I’m wondering whether it’s being rushed through the rum seasoning. Not as smooth as flavours soon as I remember to be. May just be this bottle
-
Very nice taste
-
Not that good. Overpriced. Not as smooth as I'd hope. Quite flavourless. Truth be told I expected more considering the 30 years was very very good.
