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.
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. Overall, beautifully warming.
