Driven by a desire to explore new dimensions within The Balvenie's flavor profile, distillery manager Ian Millar drew inspiration from a recent visit to Islay. He ordered a batch of Speyside peat for the kiln, marking a significant departure from the distillery's traditional methods. During one week each year, The Balvenie distills a batch of peated malt, resulting in a whisky enriched with honeyed, vanilla, and citrus notes, adorned with an intriguing layer of delicate smokiness.

The outcome is a remarkably intricate whisky brimming with notes of candied fruit, coconut, and delicate vanilla.

In the creation of The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year Old single malt whisky, the esteemed Malt Master, David C. Stewart MBE, revisited one of his most lauded accomplishments—a process known as 'cask finishing,' where the whisky undergoes consecutive maturation in two distinct types of casks.
This very technique lies at the core of The Balvenie DoubleWood's character. It begins its maturation journey in American oak barrels, which infuse the spirit with gentle, sweet vanilla notes. Subsequently, the whisky is transferred to European oak sherry casks, where the second phase of aging imparts rich, spicy flavors, along with a profound depth and fullness of character.
The DoubleWood 17 Year Old stands as the elder sibling to the DoubleWood 12 Year Old sharing its signature honeyed, spicy attributes. However, it possesses a distinctive identity, marked by deeper vanilla tones, subtle hints of green apple, velvety toffee, and an astonishing richness and complexity that set it apart.

Introduced in 1993, the DoubleWood 12 was birthed from a method pioneered by The Balvenie's Malt Master, David Stewart, in 1982—a technique now widely recognized as 'wood finishing'.
To craft The Balvenie DoubleWood, David Stewart MBE begins with whisky aged for at least 12 years in traditional whisky containers, consisting of American Oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads. This is subsequently transitioned to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks, where it remains for an added nine months.
Following this, the whisky is shifted to large oak receptacles, known as "tuns", for a period spanning 3-4 months. This crucial step allows the distinct whiskies from separate casks to seamlessly "marry" together.
Owing its unique profile to maturation in dual wood types, The Balvenie DoubleWood single malt whisky imbibes varied attributes at each phase. The conventional casks infuse it with a subtle, delicate character; the sherry wood imparts depth and a rich flavour palette; and the concluding stint in the tuns ensures a harmonious blend of the whiskies.
Tasting Note by Balvenie:Nose: Sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes, layered with honey and vanilla.Palate: Smooth and mellow with beautifully combined flavours ~ nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry.Finish: Long and Warming.
