The Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a triumph of traditional Scotch craftsmanship that invites connoisseurs to experience an unforgettable taste journey. With each sip, it promises a sensory tour through the heart of the Scottish Highlands, culminating in a complex yet harmonious flavor profile.
Carefully distilled in the Balvenie Distillery, this extraordinary single malt spends an initial maturation period in traditional American oak whiskey casks. The casks impart a soft, sweet warmth to the whisky, creating a base of vanilla and honeyed tones. Its second maturation, or “finish,” takes place in European oak sherry casks. This imparts a robust depth and complexity, revealing notes of dried fruits and a gentle spice. This double cask maturation process earns the whisky its name, “Double Wood.”
Upon the first pour, one will notice its rich golden color, a visual testament to its time spent in the two types of wood. Aromatically, The Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old awakens the senses with an enticingly sweet aroma layered with hints of vanilla, honey, green apple, and a touch of toasted oak. On the palate, it unfolds a symphony of flavors; the nutty sweetness combines flawlessly with cinnamon spiciness and the delicate tang of fresh citrus. A hint of sherry rounds off the experience, leading to a long and warming finish.
Every bottle embodies the rich heritage of over a century of whisky-making traditions at The Balvenie Distillery. The expertise of Malt Master David Stewart – with his decades of expertise – is reflected in the meticulous selection and supervision of the maturation process. The result is a perfect symphony of the finest malted barley, pure spring water, skillful distillation, and patient maturation.
The Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky is more than just a drink; it’s an experience. It’s a testament to the skill, dedication, and time-honored traditions of whisky-making. For those seeking a superbly balanced and sophisticated Scotch, or for those wishing to gift an extraordinary experience to a loved one, this whisky is the ideal choice.
