Like the famous 12 year old expression this Balvenie has been matured in two types of cask, the key difference this has been given an extra five years of cask ageing. A great release for 2012.
This bottle was part of a private collection - if you'd like more detailed info and/or photos just get in touch!
Warm Acacia honey and green apples on the nose leading to warm winter spices, vanilla and honeysuckle on the palate. The finish is gloriously long with notes of vanilla and honey.
“I like the 12yo Double Wood as standard whisky around the house but this is just awesome. As tasty as the 21yo Port Wood.”

Cracked this open for a special ocassion, ended up finishing the bottle. Delicious! One of the best whiskeys ive had
Best shit I ever had
I have just finished the bottle which I bought 12 months ago. Loved it. Will order it again.
Love it ?
After a cold bike ride I needed some warmth. Turn the thermostat up or try one of the miniatures sitting in the cupboard. Opted for this and wow, what a lovely dram. Warm, easy to sip, no harshness, just smooth whisky nectar. It’s been a long time since I had Balvenie but it won’t be so long until the next drop. On my birthday list.
