  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!

  Not worth the price, bland taste, go with the McCallan 12.

  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 .

  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

  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.

  The Balvenie Caribbean Cask has jumped to my favourite malt sweet and spicy with a hint of rum in the background delicious

  Being an Irish whiskey lover (Redbreast, GreenPoint, Bushmills etc), finally I found a Scotch that I can rate a 5 star! It is The Balvenie Caribbean Cask 14 years. Sold in The Netherlands as a 'summer whisky', but too much body for being so. No , instead you can drink this in both summer and wintertime, so much taste of the rum, butter, caramel, toffee and apple. And no smoke! Simply awesome, this is the good stuff! Wake me up for sipping this golden liquid at any time if you ask me! Adding just a few drops of fresh water enhances the taste even more, a must do. One downside, The Balvenie found it needed to color this whiskey, my question is: why on earth... Simply nobody cares about the dark brown color if non smoked barrels are used...(!)
