One of the classic after-dinner malts, Balvenie Doublewood's is a result of being aged in ex-bourbon casks before being finished in sherry casks.
Double Wood is an excellent example of what the Balvenie distillery can craft, even at 12 years.
Featured in The 1001 Whiskies you must try before you die book!
Nose: Gristy with a subtle nuttiness to it and slightly grapey.
Palate: Sweet with a good body. The bourbon characters quickly develop and as they do, a gentle spice and the slightest hint of vanilla appears. A balancing peat.
Finish: Dry and spicy.
