Man this is a good one. A bit smokier on the nose than the Doublewood, much more vanilla too. On the palette it’s lusher, sweet, but not overly rummy, which is a good thing. The Doublewood falls a tad short because of its fairly bland-ish profile, while the vanilla and molasses notes of the rum aging open it up more. More interesting than the 12, just as rich and sweet as the 17 while being much more affordable. Best Buy of the Balvenie lineup so far.
