Balvenie 17 Year Old Sherry Cask First Release 2007 70cl, 43%

Description

Balvenie 17 Year Old Sherry Cask First Release 2007 is a rich and elegant Speyside single malt Scotch whisky produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. Released in 2007 as the first edition, this expression forms part of Balvenie’s celebrated Cask Finishes range, showcasing the distillery’s expertise in sherry cask maturation.

The whisky is first matured in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks, where it develops Balvenie’s signature honeyed sweetness and soft vanilla character. It is then finished in European oak sherry casks, which add layers of dried fruit richness, nutty sweetness, and warming spice.

This finishing process enhances the whisky with flavours of raisins, figs, orange peel, caramel, and sweet oak spice, while maintaining the smooth and balanced Speyside style for which Balvenie is known.

Aged for 17 years and bottled at 43% ABV, this expression offers a beautifully rounded and complex flavour profile with depth and elegance.

The result is a sophisticated single malt with notes of honey, dried fruits, dark caramel, toasted almonds, and gentle spice.
