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...)

I enjoy many varieties of whiskies which temp and enlighten my palate. This is my first bottle of Doublewood. It is truly unique and a delight! Wonderful notes are most easily enjoyed if you let your dram breathe for 10 minutes or so. Try it!
One of my favourites this. My favourite balvenie.
This dram seems to ride the fence separating the pleasantly sweet single malts (Glenmorangie Lasanta for example) and the oaky, spicier malts, yielding a dominant harshness reminiscent of something younger than 12 years. Not terrible and not even bad, but far from a great sip especially for the $60+ price I paid. Unable to outdo Monkey Shoulder, at double the price...
Excellent
One dimensional. Your first couple of drams you think its the best scotch on earth because of how smooth it is and the minor complexity of the drink, but after a few more drams it becomes the most underwhelming drink ever not worth even close to a 100$ Canadian. I've tried 10 different types of single malt scotches, and the only one I despise more than this is the aberfeldy 12, but for the price the aberfeldy is a steal compared to this overpriced crap.
