The Balvenie Wobble

Kevin, as an early Christmas present, bought me a bottle of Balvenie, 14-year-old, Caribbean Cask, single malt Scotch.  He stopped by late yesterday afternoon so we might sample it.

This is good stuff.

All Scotch is distilled from malted (germinated and then dried) barley mash and is aged in charred oak casks.  Balvenie Caribbean Cask Scotch Whisky is additionally finished by aging in casks originally used to mature Caribbean rum, a sweet liquor derived from sugarcane.

All of that is interesting, but equally as interesting is the cylinder in which the bottle is protected.  As someone disposed to constantly fidget, the cylinder provided me with more than an hour of entertainment.

I shot a video and have posted it here: The Balvenie Wobble.
