Description

Introduced in 1993, the DoubleWood 12 was birthed from a method pioneered by The Balvenie's Malt Master, David Stewart, in 1982—a technique now widely recognized as 'wood finishing'.

To craft The Balvenie DoubleWood, David Stewart MBE begins with whisky aged for at least 12 years in traditional whisky containers, consisting of American Oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads. This is subsequently transitioned to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks, where it remains for an added nine months.

Following this, the whisky is shifted to large oak receptacles, known as "tuns", for a period spanning 3-4 months. This crucial step allows the distinct whiskies from separate casks to seamlessly "marry" together.

Owing its unique profile to maturation in dual wood types, The Balvenie DoubleWood single malt whisky imbibes varied attributes at each phase. The conventional casks infuse it with a subtle, delicate character; the sherry wood imparts depth and a rich flavour palette; and the concluding stint in the tuns ensures a harmonious blend of the whiskies.

Tasting Note by Balvenie:
Nose: Sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes, layered with honey and vanilla.
Palate: Smooth and mellow with beautifully combined flavours ~ nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry.
Finish: Long and Warming.

Double Cask Maturation

After its initial maturation in traditional American oak barrels, which imparts soft, sweet vanilla flavours, the DoubleWood then undergoes additional ageing in European oak sherry casks, enhancing its profile with rich, spicy notes.

Flavour Profile

The DoubleWood is celebrated for its well-balanced and complex flavour profile. The double cask maturation process results in a harmonious blend of flavours, featuring notes of dried fruit, nuts, and spices from the sherry casks, complemented by the buttery and honey characteristics from the American oak barrels.
