Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood 70cl, 40%

Description

Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood 70cl 40% is one of the most iconic Speyside single malt Scotch whiskies, produced at the renowned Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. This expression is celebrated for its distinctive double maturation process, which gives the whisky its name.

The whisky is first matured in traditional American oak ex-bourbon casks, developing Balvenie’s signature honeyed sweetness and soft vanilla notes. It is then transferred to Spanish oak Oloroso sherry casks for a finishing period, adding depth with flavours of dried fruits, spice, and oak.

This unique maturation process creates a beautifully balanced whisky with layers of honey, vanilla, dried fruit, and gentle spice.

Bottled at 40% ABV, Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood offers a smooth and approachable single malt that has become a benchmark whisky for the Speyside region.
