BALVENIE 12 YEAR OLD DOUBLEWOOD
Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood is celebrated for its pioneering approach to cask finishing. Initially matured in traditional whisky casks, it is then transferred to European oak sherry casks, a process that adds a rich complexity, imbuing the spirit with fruit and spice notes that complement Balvenie's honeyed character. This technique, now widely adopted across the industry, was a novelty that underscored Balvenie's innovative spirit. The DoubleWood 12 Year Old has garnered numerous awards, affirming its status as a quintessential expression of the distillery's craft.
