The Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 70cl

The Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky, 70cl

The Balvenie double wood is one of the world's most loved Single Malt Scotch Whiskies. Launched in 1993 using a process designed by Malt Master David Stewart in 1982, now commonly known as 'wood finishing'.

This whisky has spent 12 years in traditional whisky casks, American oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads. Mellowing the maturing spirit and imparting warming layers of vanilla spiciness.

This is then moved to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks for an additional nine months to increase complexity, bringing fruity, honeyed depths to the resulting Single Malt. Finally the whisky is then transferred to large oak vessels called “tuns” for 3-4 months to allow the whiskies to “marry” the whiskeys.

This is an excellent introduction to a matured whisky for your collection and would also make the perfect whisky gift for a loved one.
The multi-award winning Balvenie Distillery in Banffshire is famous for being the only one left in Scotland to retain the traditional crafts of whisky production.
