Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old – A classic with character and love
If you're looking for a whisky that combines history, craftsmanship and unparalleled depth of flavour, then Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old is the bottle for you. This single malt from Speyside distillery Balvenie delivers an unforgettable experience – whether you're new to the world of whisky or a seasoned connoisseur.
The taste of tradition and innovation
Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old is a masterpiece of cask aging. The classic maturation in American ex-bourbon casks followed by aging in Spanish sherry casks gives the whisky its name – and its unique character. It is this double maturation principle that offers a flavour journey from silky vanilla and oak to deeper, dark fruit nuances and spicy complexity.
A scent that entices…
The scent is immediately seductive with notes of dried fruit, honey and soft vanilla. Spices like cinnamon and hints of oak add a layer of warmth and depth, reminiscent of stepping into a fragrant, old-fashioned warehouse filled with wooden barrels.
A mouthful to remember
The first sip is almost velvety – nutty with a touch of toasted oak. Sweet notes of sherry, dark fruit and honey bloom, perfectly balanced by warm spices like cinnamon and a creamy body. This is a whisky that slowly develops both in the glass and on the palate.
An aftertaste with lasting elegance
Just when you think the taste is over, the aftertaste slips into dried orange peel, dark chocolate and an almost undetectable hint of smoke. It lingers for a long time – in just the right way.
Craftsmanship all the way
The Balvenie is one of the few remaining distilleries that still malts its own barley and has its own casks. This means that everything from grain to cask is under passionate control. The love and precision that goes into every detail can be tasted in every drop.
Suitable for everyone – even beginners
With its smooth and sweet profile, Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old is a perfect choice for those trying single malt for the first time. And for connoisseurs, it's a classic that you'll return to again and again.
