Spending time in Whisky casks prior to extra maturation in Sherry casks, the Doublewood treatment adds complexity and flavour. Aromas of sweet fruit combine with soft sherry, honey and vanilla hints. Smooth and mellow through the palate, flavours of nutty sweetness and cinnamon lead into a long and warming finish.
From the Producer
The Balvenie DoubleWood is a 12 year old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two wood types. Over the period of maturation it is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt ~ the traditional casks soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.
