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...)

A very good whisky that has fast become my go to tipple enjoyed over ice, with a drop of water or neat. Sweet and full of flavour, my palate is not sophisticated enough to describe the taste sensations in detail but Balvenie Doublewood 12 doesn’t disappoint and is a fabulous single malt at this price point.
One of the best £40 whiskies you will ever try, smooth and the flavours all hit at the right time
One of the first single malts i've ever bought and what a delicious dram!
For the price, it's not a bad one. On the nose it's an oak and smooth feel. It has a hint of spice yet its very inviting, plenty going on. The taste is fine. Some flavours coming out but it's not in your face. Perhaps a drink for new drinkers. But have to be honest there could be better out there for the money but I'm not suggesting this is a bad drink at all.
A must for any collection!
