Balvenie 12yo DoubleWood 43% 700ml information

The Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood is a single malt whisky hailing from one of Speyside's most renowned distilleries, Balvenie. Founded in 1892 by William Grant & Sons of Glenfiddich, the distillery boasts an impressive annual capacity of around 7 million liters. This exceptional whisky is meticulously crafted by maturing it for 12 years in two distinct types of casks. Initially, it rests in traditional oak casks before being transferred for a few additional months into European oak sherry casks. This dual maturation process, a technique pioneered by Balvenie's esteemed Malt Master, David Stewart, imparts a rich and smooth flavor profile to the whisky, further enhancing its complexity and depth.

In 2018, Balvenie commemorated the 25th anniversary of the launch of the original Balvenie 12 DoubleWood in 1993 with a special limited bottling of the 12 Year Old DoubleWood. This single malt whisky retains its unique maturation process in two types of wood, first traditional oak and then sherry casks, ensuring it delivers a distinctive character that whisky enthusiasts have come to love.

Bottled at 43% ABV and presented in an elegant tube, the Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood offers an inviting mix of bourbon and sherry influences. It's a relaxing dram that pairs wonderfully with a piece of dark chocolate, making it a versatile choice for both connoisseurs and casual whisky drinkers alike.
