Crafted using founder David Stewart's pioneering double maturation process, the whisky spends its first years in traditional American oak whisky casks before finishing in European oak sherry casks. The result is a beautifully balanced Speyside malt combining honeyed sweetness, gentle spice and rich dried fruit complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sweet honey, vanilla, orchard fruits, toasted nuts and delicate cinnamon with subtle sherry richness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Smooth and rounded with honeyed malt, dried fruits, gentle oak, nutmeg, cinnamon and creamy toffee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, warming and elegant with lingering sweet spice, oak, vanilla and delicate sherry notes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClassification:\u003c\/strong\u003e Scotch Whisky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Malt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Speyside, Scotland\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDistillery:\u003c\/strong\u003e Balvenie\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeries:\u003c\/strong\u003e DoubleWood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 12 Years\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40%\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCask Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Traditional American Oak Whisky Casks \u0026amp; European Oak Sherry Casks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle of Bottling:\u003c\/strong\u003e Official Bottling\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePresentation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes Original Tube\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Distillery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1892 in Dufftown, Balvenie remains one of the few Scottish distilleries to maintain traditional floor maltings, an on-site cooperage and generations of in-house craftsmanship. Under the long stewardship of David Stewart MBE, Balvenie has become internationally respected for producing elegant, honeyed Speyside whiskies that balance tradition with innovation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout the Bottling\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFirst introduced in 1993, DoubleWood became one of the whiskies that helped define the modern premium single malt category. Its pioneering secondary maturation in European oak sherry casks was highly influential across the Scotch industry, creating a whisky celebrated for its approachable complexity and remarkable balance. Decades later it remains one of Balvenie's flagship expressions and a benchmark for double cask maturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArchive Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlease review all product images carefully.
