Balvenie 12Yr Double Wood Single Malt Scotch 750ml

Balvenie 12Yr Double Wood Single Malt Scotch

The Balvenie 12Yr Double wood Single Malt Scotch Whisky gains its distinctive character from being matured in two woods. During its period of maturation The Balvenie 12yr Doublewood is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill Spanish oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt – the traditional casks, having previously held bourbon, soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.

The first nosing passes discover scents of walnuts, grass and dark toffee; aromas of black tea and tobacco come to the forefront. Entry is delightfully grainy, malty and vanilla bean-bittersweet; the midpalate is silky, creamy, Sherry-sweet, pruny, black raisin-like and delicious. Ends on a medium-sweet dark chocolate note. A terrific 12 Year Old.

NOSE : Sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes, layered with honey and vanilla.
TASTE :Smooth and mellow with beautifully combined flavours of nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry.
FINISH : Long and Warming.
