Jesus of Cool, I'm bad, I'm nationwide
This has nothing to do with the October Scotch buy but I have found a store in the Netherlands that has both the Balvenie Golden Cask and the Balvenie Cuban Selection available. Now the list price is $77 and $82 respectively at the store (which is a bit high, should be $65 & $73) but since they don't ship to the US I have to send them to the UK first and then to here and then to you so you can imagine the price goes up considerably, Not to mention that I have to do a bank transfer to pay him since he doesn't take credit cards or PayPal. I figure that all this extra shipping will add $43 per bottle onto the price making them $120 for the Golden Cask and $125 for the Cuban Selection.
Crafted by The Balvenie Malt Master David Stewart, The Balvenie Golden Cask 14 Year Old was matured first in traditional oak whisky casks before spending a final period of maturation in rum casks.
Stewart commented: “The result of this unusual finishing period in Caribbean rum casks has created an interesting new Balvenie expression with a fruity sweetness and subtle spice that I hope malt whisky enthusiasts will enjoy.”

The whiskey lovers can now discover and enthusiasm for the new Single Malt original that The Balvenie Distillery has launched exclusively in France. This new dram of 14 years of age, is the pride of David Stewart, Master of the Cellars of the distillery. He patiently selected the casks the most promising, and led them to their peak. David Stewart, founder of the technique of double maturation, The Balvenie was developed 14 years Selection by firstly based liquid for almost 14 years in traditional oak casks. He then transferred the whiskey in barrels that previously contained the Cuban rum, for a period of final maturation of a few months.
If you have read this far and are interested in obtaining one or both please let me know by PM and I'll see if I can put this together.
