Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood Scotch Whisky is matured in two cask styles—first American oak bourbon barrels, then European oak sherry casks. This dual maturation yields a well-balanced single malt with honeyed vanilla, toffee, and orchard fruit notes, complemented by warm spice and oak. Smooth, approachable, and versatile for sipping neat or with a splash.
