Balvenie 17 Year old / New Oak

Single Speyside Malt Scotch Whisky

A new line from Balvenie, finished in new American oak casks. We know what you're thinking - how is it different to last year's 'New Wood' bottling? Well, it's quite simple: 'New Wood' didn't specify what kind of casks were used for the initial maturation, while this is announced as a marriage of Bourbon and Sherry wood casks! Also, it's 43% rather than 40%. And, most importantly, 'New Wood' was a never-to-be-repeated release, whereas this is a 'First Bottling'. You see? Totally different.

£69.99 inc. VAT (£59.57 ex. VAT)
