Overall Balveine is geat. I am not a fan of the Caribbean cask, it is to sweet for me.

I am more of a Macallan and Aberlour guy but Balvenie is great. Also if you like smokey scotches, ardbeg is one of the best.

The 12 Doublewood is an excellent beginner's scotch along with Glenmorangie and Glenlevit.

It's also complex enough for ame experienced drinker. Never had the Caribbean but I agree with Victor.

I haven't had a Balvenie I haven't liked, but I quite enjoy the sweeter notes of the Caribbean Cask.

I have had the 14 Caribbean and the 12 Doublewood and I prefer the 12 Doublewood, also like Glenlivet 12 but mostly prefer bourbon or rye over scotch. I only go for a taste of scotch once in a blue moon anymore.

Shaun, you should really try the Glenlivit Nadurra Olorosso cask aged.

Never had the Portwood 21, but at $200+ a bottle... I know why.
