The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 NV / 750 ml.

Item#: 71588

WE9595 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2017
This sherry cask-finished Scotch offers creamy vanilla and crème brûlée, plus a mouthwatering citrus astringency on the midpalate and baking spice finish. Adding water pulls it all together, blending together lemon cream, almond and a gently spiced exhale.
WE9494 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/1/2013
Redolent of honey and fresh apple, this double wood (American oak and Sherry cask) whisky is rich and slightly viscous on the palate, showing a deep crème brûlée note laced with zesty lemon peel and ginger.
WHA8686 pts. - Whisky Advocate - Spring, 2013
A limited edition bottling to commemorate the great David Stewart’s 50th year in the business and, as befits this quiet man, here’s a release that rewards just sitting and listening. This gives more of a nod to Cognac than Speyside; something to do with the dried apricot, orange blossom, and golden syrup. The palate is gentle and layered, with more dried fruits, which are balanced by an almost jammy finish where, finally, some cereal is glimpsed.

After regular maturation, this Scotch is “extra matured” in former rum casks. The end result layers rich, mouth-coating dried apricot, honey and Sherry notes on top of Balvenie's usual caramel and light peat profile. It finishes flavorful, though with a distinct burst of alcohol warmth.

Silky and downright succulent, this Scotch is made with two types of oak casks — as the DoubleWood name suggests — but it’s really all about the influence of the ex-Sherry cask. Aromas suggest golden raisins and dried apricots. The silky palate starts out moderately smoky, but glides into a richer, honeyed, nutty profile that finishes with cocoa and clove accents.

WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 5/1/1997
Bright yellow golden appearance. Moderately full-bodied. Molasses, butterscotch, vanilla, white chocolate, burnt orange peel. Sweet woody nose leads a rich entry showing fine viscosity allied to caramel and chocolate to give a sense of decadence. Curiously dry feel with an impression of sweetness in the flavors.
WE85+85–89 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 9/1/2008
Deep aromas of oak resin, beeswax, white raisins and white pepper emerge following aeration. Entry is intensely oaky and toffee-like, with subtle touches of salt and butterscotch; the midpalate is salty, smoky, mildly peaty and grainy dry. The aftertaste is cleansing, crisp, mildly sweet and oaky and a touch austere.
