Crafted to perfection by Malt Master David C. Steward MBE to celebrate his 50 years with The Balvenie, the Balvenie Double Wood 17 year old Single Malt Scotch is a remarkable whiskey that offers double the tasting pleasure. This exceptional spirit is aged consecutively in two unique casks, resulting in a truly exquisite taste.
The whiskey is first aged for a minimum of 16 years in American oak barrels, before being transferred to European oak sherry casks for another year of maturation. The undisclosed mash bill features a high percentage of malted barley, contributing to its rich and complex flavor profile. Bottled at 86 proof, this whiskey is highly coveted by enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Sadly, The Balvenie discontinued the Double Wood 17 Year Scotch in 2021, making it a rare unicorn cask in the whiskey world. It's a highly sought-after addition to any premium liquor collection, and a testament to the exceptional quality and craftsmanship of The Balvenie distillery.
