Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old Scotch Whisky
Balvenie Doublewood Old Whisky is a Speyside Scotch which, thanks to the genius of William Grant, opened all the way back in 1892. Just how long ago is that? It was the year that Ellis Island first opened to visitors. It was the year the first basketball game was played, and it was the year that the ever popular Grover Cleveland was elected President. Balvenie DoubleWood is, to not much surprise, aged in two kinds of oak casks! It was firstly matured in refill American oak casks before it was treated to a finish in first fill European oak Oloroso sherry butts for an additional nine months.

Tasting Notes Of Balvenie Doublewood Old Whisky
Nose: Gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting.
Palate: Sweet with good body. The bourbon characters develop; gentle spice with a little vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata. Dried fruit too, combining with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, back into the bourbon notes – so well integrated.
Finish: Spicy, slightly drying, still sweet.
Overall: A classic, always a pleasure to revisit.
