In creating The Balvenie DoubleWood 17-year-old expression, Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE revisited one of his notable accomplishments – sequential maturation in two distinct types of casks, a method commonly known as `cask finishing.` This pivotal technique defines The Balvenie DoubleWood, involving the initial maturation in American oak barrels, imparting gentle sweet vanilla notes. Subsequently, the whisky is transferred to European oak sherry casks for the second phase of ageing, contributing rich spicy flavours and enhancing its overall depth.

Crafted with Care
One of Speyside's most famous single malts, located in Dufftown and owned by William Grant and Sons. The distillery was founded in the late 1800s by William Grant, who worked at the Mortlach distillery nearby. Master Distiller David Stewart is credited with making Balvenie the powerhouse we know today.
David worked at Balvenie for many decades and introduced many innovations that are now widespread across the industry including 'cask finishes' where whiskies are aged for a period in ex-Bourbon wood before being finished for a relative short period in a more active barrel.
