The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old is a flagship single malt Scotch whisky which best known for its two-stage maturation process. The whisky is first matured for 12 years in American oak ex-bourbon casks, which develops its soft vanilla, honey, and sweet malt character. It is then transferred into European oak Oloroso sherry casks for a second maturation period, adding layers of dried fruit, nuts, spice, and richer sweetness.
It is a whisky for drinkers who enjoy balanced honey, fruit, and sherry notes without heavy peat smoke.
