Edencroft - Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood
Edencrofts have announced the new release from Balvenie of their 17 Year Old DoubleWood.
The whisky is now available to order from www.edencroft.co.uk (priced at £72.50) and deliveries will start from 26th November.
Stocks will be limited for this popular malt, so the Balvenie will be available on a first come, first served basis.
They also have limited stocks of the recently released 14 year old Caribbean cask at the unbeatable offer price of only £37.50 per bottle.
The Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood is a significant new addition to the range from Scotland’s longest-serving Malt Master, David Stewart.
An elder sibling to Balvenie’s most popular expression, the new aged version shares the same DNA and the honeyed, spicy characteristics as the 12 Year Old. Although it is distinctly different, with deeper vanilla notes, hints of green apple, creamy toffee and a striking richness and complexity.
To craft the 17 Year Old, David Stewart, who celebrates his 50th year at The Balvenie, this year, returned to one of his most celebrated achievements – consecutive maturation in two different types of cask, a process often referred to as ‘cask finishing’.
This technique is at the heart of DoubleWood – it sees the whisky matured first in American oak barrels, which impart soft sweet vanilla notes, before being transferred to European oak sherry casks, where the second cask ageing adds rich spicy flavours that a depth and fullness of flavour.
