Balvenie – 17 Year Old - Doublewood (70cl, 43%)

Balvenie – 17 Year Old - Doublewood is a single malt whisky from Balvenie (Speyside). Aged 17 years, bottled at 43% ABV, 70cl. Finished in sherry Oak. Founded in 1892 by William Grant, Balvenie sits beside Glenfiddich in Dufftown and is famous for maintaining traditional craftsmanship. It is one of the few distilleries with its own floor maltings, coopers, coppersmiths, and an internal barley farm. This commitment to heritage contributes to its warm, honeyed style. Under the leadership of longtime Malt Master David Stewart, Balvenie pioneered cask finishing with releases like the DoubleWood. Now a global single malt powerhouse, Balvenie continues producing a wide range of age statements and limited editions. Despite large output, it retains a handcrafted identity and strong brand loyalty. To make The Balvenie DoubleWood, The Balvenie Malt Master David Stewart MBE takes whisky that has spent at least 17 years in traditional whisky casks, American Oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads, and moves it to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks for additional maturation.
