The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky owes its distinctive character to maturation in two wood types. It starts in traditional oak whisky casks, which soften and add character, before being transferred to European oak sherry casks, which bring depth and fullness of flavor. The nose offers sweet fruit, Oloroso sherry, honey, and vanilla, while the palate delivers nutty sweetness, cinnamon spice, and a delicate layer of sherry, culminating in a long, warming finish. Best enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or with a splash of water.
