Aged in a blend of 2 distinct casks – an estimated 17 years in American oak and less than a year in sherry-seasoned oak – the Balvenie DoubleWood 17 year old Single Malt Scotch Whisky was released in 2012 and is cited as the older sibling to Balvenie’s 12 year old DoubleWood expression. Launched to coincide with the celebration of Malt Master David Stewart’s 50 years at this iconic distillery, DoubleWood 17 Year lures you in with aromatics full of dark black cherries, medicinal herbs and honey, apples, and a hint of green banana. The palate is rich earth, apple pastries in cream, cherries, and vanilla. Delightfully sweet and short in finish, the Balvenie DoubleWood 17 year old Single Malt Scotch is a premium quaff easily to enjoy and savor for any occasion.
