Balvenie Description
The Balvenie DoubleWood is a 12 year old Single Malt which gains its Distinctive Character from being matured in two woods. During its period of maturation The Balvenie DoubleWood is transferred from a Traditional Oak whisky cask to a First Fill Spanish Oak Sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt- the traditional casks, having previously held Bourbon, soften and add character, whilst the Sherry Wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.
Wine Enthusiast: 95 Points
First nosing exposes dry scents of walnuts, grass and dark toffee. Entry is malty and vanilla-extract bittersweet; midpalate is silky, creamy, Sherry sweet, pruny and black raisin-like. Ends on a dark chocolate note that s chewy, medium-sweet and satisfying.
Whisky Advocate: 91 Points
Balvenie’s classic was first launched in 1993. Aged in bourbon barrels for at least 12 years and finished in European oak sherry casks for 9 months, then the individual casks are transferred to large tuns to marry for 3-4 months. Dry on the nose, with pleasant aromas of citrus and a hint of soapiness and waxiness. Full-flavored on the palate with deep notes of chocolate and brown sugar accented by pepper spice.
