The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood Scotch which commemorates the 50th anniversary of Malt Master David Stewart at the distillery. David Stewart is a pioneer in the art of crafting single malt Scotch aged in two different types of barrels. This DoubleWood Scotch first matures in American oak barrels for soft vanilla notes and is then transferred into European sherry casks to add richness, spice, depth and fullness.
"It has been a real pleasure to create the DoubleWood 17 Year Old, and I am delighted with the way it has turned out, as I hope Balvenie enthusiasts will be," said Malt Master David Stewart. "Wherever I travel in the world, DoubleWood 12 Year Old is the expression that people are most likely to have enjoyed. It is also one of the whiskies I am most proud of when I look back over my 50 years at the distillery, which is why it has been so exciting to create this new older version."
The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood is an expertly proportioned single malt with distinctive rich vanilla oak, honeyed sweetness and layers of spices. On the nose, it is elegant and complex with oak, vanilla, honey and a hint of green apple. To taste, it is sweet with dried fruits, sherbet spice, toasted almonds and cinnamon, layered with a richness of creamy toffee notes and traces of oak and deep vanilla.
