The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old 40% ABV / Distillery Bottling Category: Speyside Compare Prices: Balvenie
Description: Matured for 12 years in ex-Bourbon hogsheads before a 6 month sojourn in ex-Sherry hogsheads, The Balvenie DoubleWood is a textbook example of the distillerys commitment to the best in tradition and modern-thinking. The results are simply sensational.
Tasting Notes: An assertive, penetrating malt combining the classic spicy qualities of The Balvenie with softer, fruitier notes from its finishing period in ex-Sherry casks. Full-bodied with a succulent, warming finish.
Method of Production: Not only is The Balvenie one of the few distilleries in Scotland to retain its floor maltings, it even farms its own barley locally. Its water is sourced from the Robbie Dubh spring and distillation takes place in unusually large copper pot stills. The DoubleWood spent the first 12 years of its life maturing conventionally in ex-Bourbon casks before it was transferred to ex-Sherry hogsheads for a brief finishing period (6 months) prior to bottling.
