The Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood is a Speyside single malt finished in two cask types: American bourbon and oloroso sherry. This maturation yields a balanced, approachable profile with honeyed sweetness, orchard fruit, and warm spice, backed by subtle oak. Smooth and versatile, it’s well-suited for neat sipping, with a splash of water, or easy pairings with desserts.
Tasting notes
Aroma: Honeyed vanilla, baked apple and pear, dried fruit (raisins/fig), light orange peel, and gentle oak spice.
Palate: Silky, medium-bodied; flavors of honey, toffee, vanilla, and dried fruit; hints of orange zest; soft spice (nutmeg, cinnamon) and subtle oak.
Finish: Long and warm; fruit and spice linger, with a touch of oak drying at the end.
