Balvenie 17 Rum Cask

Nose is vanilla, sugar cane, and organic non-sulphured dried mango. Palate is a warming mouthful of pound cake and sliced ripe papaya. Finish is clean. I feel this is an endearing example of rum casking. However, my tasting mates did not share my enthusiasm what so ever. I believe one comment was "flat and flavorless". Well, that just means more for me...
