The Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a distinguished expression that captures the essence of traditional craftsmanship and refined maturation. Aged for 12 years, this single malt gains its unique character from a meticulous aging process involving two distinct wood types. Initially matured in traditional oak whisky casks, it is then transferred to first fill European oak sherry casks, resulting in a complex and harmonious flavor profile.
This dual maturation process softens the whisky while adding layers of depth and richness. The traditional oak casks impart subtle character and smoothness, while the sherry casks contribute a beautifully balanced fullness, enhancing the whisky with notes of nutty sweetness and delicate sherry influence. The palate reveals a sophisticated blend of cinnamon spiciness, dried fruits, and a natural rich gold color that captivates both the eye and the senses.
Key features include:
- A highly sought-after single malt renowned for its refined balance and depth.
