The Balvenie DoubleWood 12yo is a remarkable single malt whisky that embodies a unique character developed through a meticulous maturation process. This 12-year-old whisky, bottled in 2007, originates from the renowned Speyside region and is crafted by The Balvenie Distillery. Under the masterful guidance of Malt Master David Stewart, The Balvenie DoubleWood 12yo undergoes an initial period of maturation in traditional oak whisky casks, which imbue the spirit with a smooth and characterful foundation. Subsequently, the whisky is transferred to first fill European oak sherry casks for an additional nine months, where it acquires a rich depth and fullness of flavor. The result of this dual maturation process is a complex yet harmonious whisky with notes of honey, vanilla, and Oloroso sherry on the nose. The palate is greeted with a smooth and mellow blend of nutty sweetness, cinnamon, and spiciness, beautifully complemented by a delicately balanced layer of sherry. This whisky is a testament to the expertise and craftsmanship of The Balvenie's Malt Master, who skillfully selects and blends the casks to create a whisky that is both intricate and approachable.
The unique character of The Balvenie DoubleWood 12yo comes from its maturation in two types of wood: traditional oak whisky casks and European oak sherry casks, which give it a rich depth and complexity.
