The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood is a discontinued expression that has become a rare find since its production ended in 2021. Much like the 12-year-old version, it is matured for over 17 years in American oak bourbon barrels to develop soft notes of honey and vanilla, followed by an additional year in sherry casks to layer in aromas of almond, sherry, and dried fruits. If you enjoyed the DoubleWood 12, this expression is highly recommended for its enhanced depth and sophisticated complexity, refined over five extra years of maturation.
