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.
Gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting.
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.
Spicy, slightly drying, still sweet.
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...)
Never mind the hints of oil. fennel figs and various other fruits, when at the bar and I'm buying I buy Dewar's on the rocks but when I drink alone or with special friends at home I drink Balvenie Double Wood. Its best served on the rocks with a slash of water to bring out the malted peak of the Scottish Bogs. It takes one of Scottish Ancestry back it time time from whence one came. The End...
it is a dram to go home to, when you have things to work out. if you, like me have many to choose from, use this one first then you may not go further, if you do then its a good yardstick, its just so easy to enjoy and what you sat down to work out will be done!.
Excellent my favourite tipple
A friend bought me a shot of this. Wonderful! This is something to be sipped and enjoyed.
The whisky against which I judge all others. I prefer my whisky on the sweeter side and this really delivers without being overly sherried. Outstanding value for money
