Balvenie DoubleWood Single Malt Scotch Whisky 17 Year Old
Out of stock
The DoubleWood 17 year old is an elder sibling to DoubleWood 12 year old and shares its honeyed, spicy characteristics, but it is distinctly different, with deeper vanilla notes, hints of green apple, creamy toffee and a striking richness and complexity.
Matured in two different types of cask, a process often referred to as ‘cask finishing’, this technique is at the heart of The Balvenie DoubleWood – it sees the whisky matured first in American oak barrels, which impart soft sweet vanilla notes, before being transferred to European oak sherry casks, where the second cask ageing adds rich spicy flavours and a depth and fullness of flavour.

Tasting Notes
Colour
Deep amber-gold with sunlit honey tones and copper-bronze edges, a warm, luminous glow.
Nose
Elegant, complex oak carries vanilla and honeyed sweetness, with a bright touch of green apple. A refined, creamy warmth lingers on the nose, suggesting depth and balance from its two-cask maturation.
Palate
Sweet with dried fruits and sherbet spice, opening to toasted almonds and cinnamon; creamy toffee envelops the palate, while gentle oak and deep vanilla add structure, delivering a rich, velvety sweetness that lingers.
Finish
Long and elegant, the finish unfolds with vanilla oak and honey, edged by a bright, spicy sweetness that lingers, leaving a warm, creamy echo on the palate.
