Balvenie DoubleWood is aged in two kinds of oak casks! It was first matured in refill American oak casks before it was treated to a finish in first-fill European oak Oloroso sherry butts for an additional nine months. The expression was launched in 1993 and has become a somewhat iconic whiskey. Even at 12 years old, this rich and complex dram is an excellent example of what the Balvenie distillery can craft. 40% ABV. Nose: Supple nuttiness intertwined with spices and honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting. Palate: Sweet with good body. The bourbon characters develop gentle spice with a bit of vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata. Dried fruit, combined with nuts, nutmeg, and cinnamon, back into the bourbon notes, so well integrated. Finish: Spicy, slightly drying, still sweet. Overall: A classic, always a pleasure to revisit. This is a single malt with the ability to convert a non-whisky drinker with its deliciousness.
