The Balvenie Distillery was built by William Grant & Sons in 1892, giving it a long history in the art of distilling. It is found near the town of Dufftown in the Speyside region of Scotland and is still owned by William Grant & Sons today, meaning that history remains intact. The malt produced here has a fantastic Speyside character that captures both the region and the heart of the distillery itself.
Matured in two different casks, American Oak and then European oak Sherry casks, this is a rich and complex Whisky. With a good age statement, the oak of the barrels gives a deep sweet and spicy flavour alongside a fruitiness imparted from the Sherry casks. There is also something of a honeyed and floral taste to this expression, a characteristic it shares with its 12 Year Old counterpart.

Single Malt Scotch Whisky is made in Scotland using a pot still distillation process at a single distillery, with malted barley as the only grain ingredient. It must be matured in oak casks in Scotland for at least three years (most single malts are matured longer).

Ratings & Reviews
Darrin,
I wish my palate was sufficiently trained to detect drunk of the flavors, but this scotch is quite good. A subtle change from my standard Macallen 12.
Ross,
has a little bite at first, but can taste the light sherry and nose is fresh.....finishes light and sweet ...a hint of sherry in the back.
Jason,
This is my go to scotch. Wonderful nose, great body, and easy drinking. Flavor is very relaxed and none of the notes are over powering.
Patrick,
Started my venture into Scotch with Macallan 18 so that became my benchmark. I tried the Balvenie 17 both neat and over ice, finding I liked both, but that they presented with different flavor profiles. I don't have a sophisticated enough palate to identify the notes of different flavors, but I can tell you that I will be purchasing another bottle of The Balvenie 17 Doublewood, bc I enjoyed it. I still get Macallan 18 when I go out for drinks, but for home, I am a fan of the Balvenie.
Jeremy,
Balvenie knows how to please the pallet. This was rough but so lasting and delcious.
