Available : outofstock

A special, limited edition 25 year old expression of the iconic Balvenie DoubleWood. This whisky was released in 2018 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the release of the DoubleWood 12 Year Old.

2018 marks the 25th anniversary of The Balvenie DoubleWood, and so to celebrate we are looking back at its journey.

Just as DoubleWood pairs two woods, we have brought together pairings of our own for a celebratory dram. In each film our distillery brand ambassador David Mair sits down with a familiar face from the DoubleWood’s history, to look back at the last 25 years and forward to the future. Our first guest is David Stewart MBE, Balvenie malt master and the DoubleWood’s creator, who discusses his fond Balvenie memories. Next we sat down with head cooper Ian McDonald, who after nearly half a century at the distillery has more than a story or two to share. Finally, we look towards the future with Kelsey McKechnie as she embarks on her malt master apprenticeship under David Stewart.

A Double wood edition from Balvenie and aged for 12 years, being transferred between traditional oak casks and first filled European oak sherry casks. It was a winner at the 2012 IWSC taking gold in the whiskey scotch category. Presented in a wonderful handmade wooden gift tube.

This bottle was part of a private collection – if you’d like more detailed photos just get in touch!

Tasting Note

Nose: Dense shortbread and mince-pie filling, joined a whiff of old leather later on.

Palate: Aromatic oak and rich waves of earthy vanilla. Simmering cinnamon and five-spice. Dried fruit and a hint of hot chocolate give it a welcome sweetness.

Finish: Cigar box, continued spice and just a touch of cranberry.
