Balvenie 12 Years Double Wood with 2 Glasses

Balvenie Double Wood 12 years celebrated its 25. birthday in 2018. This milestone started in 1993 and is proof of talent in the craftsmanship of malt master David Stewart, who developed a procedure in 1982, which is known as 'Wood Finishing' today. Ex-Bourbon casks from American oak and Hogsheads were used for the 12 year old Balvenie Double Wood. A finish in Ex-Oloroso Sherry casks made from Spanish oak follows.

Nosing: Top - Sherry Oak Vanilla Mid - Treacle and Sherry Base - Lemon Orange

Taste: Sherry Oak butter toffee - werthers?

Finish: Pepper Vanilla Oak Sweet treacle

Comment: Deep amber liquid gold in colour, thick legs that take time to run back to the whisky.
Very pleasant nose with distinct Sherry and Oak throughout, mid tones of treacle and a base of lemon and orange.
Taste is definite sherry, coming from the Doublewood in the name, matured for 12 years, first in Whisky Oak casks and then transferred to European Oak Sherry casks.
Finish is warm peppery, with vanilla and oak sweetness and a treacle undertone.
Overall a very nice drink, 8 1/2 out of 10 - currently on offer in Tesco, so worth buying if you fancy it!
