DoubleWood 17 Year Old image
The Balvenie DoubleWood 17 Year Old
To craft The Balvenie DoubleWood 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 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 and a depth and fullness of flavour. The DoubleWood 17 year old is an elder sibling to DoubleWood 12 year old and shares its honeyed, spicy characteristics, but it is distinctly different, with deeper vanilla notes, hints of green apple, creamy toffee and a striking richness and complexity.

Oban Distillers Edition
Distilled in 2007, Oban Distillers Edition 2021 Single Malt Whisky is aged for 14 years in oak casks. During its beauty rest, the whisky is touched by its environment and geography — the warm, salty Gulf Stream and mild, temperate climate of Oban are reflected in the whisky. After its initial maturation, the whisky is finished in ex-Montilla Fino sherry casks. Bottled at 86 proof, it's a rich and explosive single malt with a balance of sweetness, fruit, and maritime notes.
