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. The expression was launched in 1993, and has become a somewhat iconic whisky over the years. Even at 12 years old, this rich and complex dram is an excellent example of what the Balvenie distillery can craft.
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. (This is also a single malt with the ability to convert a non-whisky drinker with its deliciousness...)

This needs a few drops of cold water as it burns. But once you start sipping you really appreciate it. A pleasant after taste and goes well with some fruit.

Perfectly balanced, deep flavours and incredibly smooth. This is the Rolls Royce of 12 year olds malts.

Full bodied, sweet, spicy. Delicious and deserving of 5 out of 5 stars. Favourite dram

First time I’ve tried this and I’m really pleased. Notes are mild. So very smooth on the palate. I got liquorice?? And finishes as good as any other premium 12. Will buy again

Altime favourite dram. Complex and full on flavour.

Personally I think Balvenie Double Wood, is one of the smoothest malts you can drink

A very evocative treat, packed with surprises. Pleasant and exciting, perhaps not suited to a beginners palette. Incredible flavours on first tasting, way more depth than the nose suggests. Hints of fig, oil, candied red fruits, quite spicy with a faint whisper of fennel. A long, sweet finish. Rather enjoyable before or after dinner.

I love this .. delicious. Fruity and spicy .. lots going on and definitely one of my favourites ... a must try ..
I enjoy this drink specifically for the lack of Peat. This is my afternoon delight when relaxing by the fire. The flavors are what I'm looking for when poured over the rocks.
