The texture is remarkably smooth and delicate, evolving from initial sweetness to molasses toffee, aged leather, and the embrace of heavy oak tannins. The finish is enduringly sweet, leaving a lasting impression.
This expression attests to the remarkable quality of this creation, stating, “Caroni Rum Distillery’s expertise in producing highly-rated rum wines over the past two decades shines through in the exceptional secondary aging of Paepero whisky within these robust Caroni Rum casks.”
The flavor profile is a delightful medley of toasted barley, butter, kiwi skin, and light caramel carambar, accompanied by very light esters. The palate unfolds with the succulence of juicy pear and apple, followed by the nuanced richness of quince and tarte tatin. The journey concludes with a long finish adorned with notes of juicy fruits, pineapple, butter, and coconut flesh.
Balvenie 27-Year-Old – Distant Shores is a testament to the artistry of whisky-making, where the fusion of exceptional cask selection and secondary aging in Caroni Rum casks results in an extraordinary sensory experience.
