Product Details
This Balvenie 17 Year Old utilizes the brand's famous 'cask finishing' process. The whisky first matures in traditional American oak barrels, imparting soft vanilla and sweet base notes. It is then moved to European Sherry casks for final maturation, adding rich spiciness, dark fruit notes, and complexity. This 17-year-old expression possesses a more robust wood character and deeper sweetness than the 12-year-old version, serving as a masterpiece from Malt Master David C. Stewart.

Read More Brand Story
The Balvenie distillery, located in Dufftown, Speyside, is one of the few whisky distilleries today that still adheres to traditional handcrafted methods. Since its founding in 1892, Balvenie has upheld its 'Five Rare Crafts': home-grown barley, floor maltings, on-site coppersmiths, a team of coopers, and the Malt Master's supervision.
The story of this 17 Year Old DoubleWood is closely tied to Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE, the longest-serving malt master in the industry and a pioneer of 'cask finishing.' This edition was released to commemorate David Stewart's 50th anniversary at the distillery. It maintains the balance of the 12-year-old version but evolves into a fuller, more mellow body due to the additional five years spent in the casks.
Every bottle of Balvenie 17 Year Old represents a respect for time. From the cultivation of barley to the selection of casks, the distillery treats every step as an art form. This whisky is not just a sensory pleasure; it is the epitome of Scottish whisky tradition. Whether for personal collection or sharing during special moments, the Balvenie 17 is a symbol of prestige and taste.
