Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old

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.

Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt

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...)

Reviews for Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old

Not bad but not great

Nice “average” whisky to drink and share with friends. Could be so much more if it was unchillfiltered, and therefore leaves the experience limited. I suspect added colouring too. Better value whisky out there which give better experience for the consumer.

Get your hands off

Like visiting The Dome. Part of Christmas.

bryan wilson Jan 13, 2023

Creamy, nutty, smooth as you like

Those nights are drawing in. Back on the gravy. Right, 4.5 doesn’t say it’s the best. But for the money it fits right in as a session whisky. Call me a philistine but if you like a ‘few’ it’s spot on. Smooth, lingers as long as the price reflects, and well balanced.

Master of Malt Customer Sep 28, 2022

Excellent

My favourite Speyside. It’s true it will convert non-Whisky drinkers

Master of Malt Customer Jun 12, 2022

Great taste and body

Excellent, a favorite of mine for many years.
