Description
The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood is a sophisticated single malt whisky from the Speyside region. This expression is a testament to Balvenie's commitment to quality and innovation, offering a refined and complex taste experience.
The whisky is matured in two types of casks: traditional oak casks and European oak sherry casks. This double maturation process imparts layers of flavour and complexity to the whisky. On the nose, you'll find inviting aromas of honey, vanilla, and green apples, with hints of dried fruits and warm winter spices. The palate is rich and smooth, with notes of vanilla, honeysuckle, and a touch of oak. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of vanilla and honey.
The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood, discontinued in 2021, has become increasingly sought after by collectors.
Balvenie
William Grant converted the ruins of Balvenie House into Balvenie Distillery in 1892 in order to meet the global demand for William Grant's Scottish Speyside malt whisky and blended scotch. Balvenie Distillery is situated in Scotland's Speyside whisky region and is one of the few Scottish distilleries to malt barley on its own malt floors and to dry its malted barley over a peat fire in its own malt kiln. Popular members of the Balvenie range are Double Wood, Caribbean Cask and the Tun series.
