Balvenie 17 Year Old DoubleWood Single Malt Whisky - 70cl 43%
Balvenie 17 Year
Old Double Wood Single
Malt Whisky - 70cl 43%
£91.66
To craft The Balvenie Double Wood 17 year old single malt whisky, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE 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 The Balvenie Double Wood – 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 & a depth & fullness of flavour. The Double Wood 17 year old is an elder sibling to Double Wood 12 year old & shares its honeyed, spicy characteristics, but it is distinctly different, with deeper vanilla notes, hints of green apple, creamy toffee & a striking richness & complexity. Whisky region: Speyside Nose: Elegant & complex oak, vanilla, honeyed sweetness & a hint of green apple. Palate: Sweet with dried fruits, sherbet spice, toasted almonds & cinnamon, layered with a richness of creamy toffee notes & traces of oak & deep vanilla. Finish: Vanilla oak, honey & spicy sweetness. ...

Balvenie 17 Year Old
Islay Cask Single Malt
Whisky
£537.14
In the making of The Balvenie Islay Cask, David Stewart selected Balvenie single malt which had matured in traditional oak casks for at least 17 years & transferred it into 94 casks which had previously held Islay single malt. After six months he felt the casks had imparted the desired delicate amount of peaty notes, typical of Islay, whilst retaining the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie. The Balvenie Islay Cask was bottled in 2001 & the late Michael Jackson, world renowned whisky expert & author of The Malt Whisky Companion, wrote the tasting notes above. This is a quite hard to come by bottle! Nose: Remarkably smoky aroma: lingering & soft, but also with some sweetness. Evokes thoughts of steam trains & garden bonfires. Some leafy, ferny, notes. Palate: Again, soft, with some of the same smoky sweetness. Like sugar being caramelised. A touch of candied orange peel. Lemon. Bread-&-butter pudding. All of these are more typical Balvenie flavours Finish: The interplay of sweetness & smokiness finally melds into a fragrant, soothing, afterglow ...

Balvenie 17 Year Rum
Cask Old Whisky
£600.00
In the crafting of the Balvenie Rum Cask aged 17 years, Balvenie matured exclusively in traditional whisky casks was transferred to barrels shipped from Jamaica which had previously held sweet rum. The long maturation in traditional oak casks imparted characteristic Balvenie Vanilla & Honey notes while the influence of the rum casks was to add further layers of richness, warmth & spice to the resulting single malt. Nose: Delicate. Notes of rich, yellow fruit & acacia honey with a soft buttery texture. Palate: Very fruity, rich & ripe, with the allusion of bourbon from the toasty vanilla & soft Demerara.

Balvenie 17 Year Old Peated Cask Single Malt Whisky

In 2001, a heavily peated batch of barley was distilled at The Balvenie Distillery and was allowed to mature until The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, decided it was time to rejuvenate the maturation process and so the whisky was transferred to newly prepared traditional casks. The casks that had originally held the peated liquid had taken on much of its character and so David decided to experiment by filling them with 17 year old Balvenie for a short period. The result was an intensely peaty whisky. Marrying this liquid with 17 year old Balvenie finished in new American oak casks produced The Balvenie Peated Cask, a complex single malt that is rich and spicy with layers of smokiness. Nose: Gentle floral aromas, notes of lavender and violets with mild oak. Full of sweet fruits
and honey with a touch of smoke. Palate: Smoke becomes distinct and heavy, spices with nutmeg and cinnamon are unveiled. heat is cushioned with fruity notes and sweeter honey and vanilla. A mild oak flavour is established. Finish: Medium finish, sweet fruits and spice with a touch of oak and smoke.
