Many years of maturation in traditional oak whisky casks mellows the maturating spirit and imparts warming layers of vanilla spiciness.
Further maturation in European Oak Sherry casks increases complexity, bringing fruity, honeyed depths to the resulting Single Malt.
The whisky is transferred to large oak vessels called 'tuns' for three to four months to allow the whiskies from individual casks to marry.
The result
The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 single malt whisky gains its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood types. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt whisky.

Bought on recommendation from fellow enthusiasts. Delivers in spades - lovely colour, nuttiness, fruity and a little spice. Some caramel and malt flavours but nicely balanced. Very glad I picked this up! Approved by the spouse (which is always important!)
