Product Description

Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year Scotch: Extended Maturation with Oloroso Sherry Depth

Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year Scotch applies The Balvenie’s two-cask approach to a longer-matured single malt. The current listing identifies 17 years in traditional oak followed by finishing in Oloroso sherry casks, bringing together honeyed malt, vanilla, oak and dried-fruit richness.

The product information points to dried fruit, almond, cinnamon and toffee alongside the distillery’s familiar honey and vanilla character. The description focuses on the named expression; release details, packaging and sensory perception can vary.

Tasting Notes

Expect honey, vanilla and polished oak, followed by raisins or other dried fruit, almond, cinnamon, toffee and gentle malt. The sherry finish should add richness without completely covering the spirit’s lighter fruit and honey. Let the whisky rest in the glass and add water only a few drops at a time.

Food Pairings

Pair with aged cheese, roasted almonds, dried fruit, dark chocolate, fruitcake or roast duck. Nutty and dried-fruit foods echo the Oloroso influence, while savory dishes provide contrast to the whisky’s sweetness.

Serving Suggestions

Serve neat in a tulip-shaped glass at a moderate room temperature. Add a small amount of water if desired; avoid heavy ice or strongly flavored mixers that can obscure an older, more delicate single malt.
