94 points Wine Enthusiast: "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. Alcohol 43%. (Dec 2013)"

Distiller notes: "The Balvenie DoubleWood 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 flavor. 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. Nose: Elegant and complex oak, vanilla, honeyed sweetness and a hint of green apple. Taste: Sweet with dried fruits, sherbet spice, toasted almonds and cinnamon, layered with a richness of creamy toffee notes and traces of oak and deep vanilla. Finish: Vanilla oak, honey and spicy sweetness."
