The Balvenie Double Wood 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.
Sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes, layered with honey and anilla.
Smooth and mellow with beautifully combined flavours nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry.
