Balvenie Caribbean Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky 14 Year Old

Very pretty golden color; impeccable purity. Opening inhalations detect green tea and earthy/leafy notes of delicacy and grace; later sniffs after seven minutes of aeration encounter sweeter aromas, especially brown sugar, cotton candy and marzipan. Entry is slightly oily, piquant and spicy; midpalate showcases assertive flavors of vanilla bean, clove, dates, and dried apricot. Concludes elegantly, with a touch of the oil noted at the entry.
