I had the 14 really good, it doesn't say triple cask on it. And it's cheaper than the 12 year triple cask.
I wonder if there is any difference to that triple cask.

You probably had the 14 doublewood which is 2 casks. Of course a third cask makes a difference

OU certifies quite a few. I'd bet the CRC list has them.

Found it relatively fast. Page 18 lists the rum and the ones that are spiced say so next to it.

Not sure who you hold by but if you check out the cRc list on page 17 on the top right, it lists St Germain as "Not recommended".
