Bottled in 2001 under the guidance of The Balvenie's Malt Master, David Stewart, the Balvenie Islay Cask 17 Year Old Single Malt is a surprisingly harmonic scotch whisky, bottled at 86-proof, that balances the delicate sweetness, complexity and character of traditional oak-aged Speyside whisky with the peat and smoke imparted by Islay cask finishing.

A 2006 release that was limited to a 79 cask run, the 'New Wood' iteration in The Balvenie's 17 Year Old Cask Finishing Series is finished in fresh Quercus Alba (American white oak), and represents one of the rarest and most sought after limited editions ever released by the Speyside distiller.

Releasd in 2010, Balvenie's 17 Year Old Peated Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky is an 86-proof spirit that combines whisky matured in virgin oak casks as well as casks that had been previously filled with an unreleased 2001 sample of experimental, heavily peated Balvenie. A boundary-defying, mold-breaking innovation that showcases The Balvenie's courage and fearless pioneering in the pursuit of cask finishing.
