The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood Scotch Whisky 750mL is a refined and matured evolution of the distillery’s beloved 12-Year DoubleWood expression. Crafted by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, this exceptional Speyside single malt undergoes a signature two-cask maturation process—first aged in traditional American oak ex-bourbon barrels for smoothness, then finished in rich European oak sherry casks for added depth and complexity.
Aged for 17 years and bottled at 43% ABV, The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood delivers a perfect balance of sweet honey, spice, and oak. It captures the hallmark characteristics of The Balvenie’s craftsmanship—smooth, full-bodied, and layered with rich flavor that develops beautifully over time. This is a sophisticated single malt for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
