Description

Founded in 1892 by William Grant in Dufftown, at the heart of Speyside, The Balvenie is one of Scotland's most craft-focused distilleries, maintaining its own floor maltings, cooperage and coppersmith team on site. It is a place where traditional methods have been preserved not as a point of heritage but as a genuine commitment to quality, and that philosophy runs through every expression in the range. The distillery's Malt Master lineage is among the most celebrated in the industry, with David C. Stewart MBE spending over five decades shaping its character before passing the role to Kelsey McKechnie.

DoubleWood 12 was launched in 1993, built on a wood finishing technique pioneered by David C. Stewart in 1982 that has since become widely adopted across the industry. The whisky first matures in traditional whisky oak casks before being transferred to European oak sherry casks for a further period of maturation, adding fruity, honeyed depth and greater complexity. The whiskies are then married for three to four months in large oak tuns before bottling. This limited edition presents the expression in exclusive narrative-led packaging by award-winning illustrator Victo Ngai, making it a particularly distinctive gift.

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.
