Balvenie 12 Year Old Doublewood Whisky 5cl

Balvenie 12 Year Old Double Wood is a highly respected and popular single malt Scotch whisky from the Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland. The "Double Wood" name refers to the two types of casks used during the maturation process, giving the whisky its unique depth of flavour. Here's a breakdown of what makes it special:

Maturation Process:

• First Cask: It is initially aged in traditional oak casks (ex-bourbon barrels), where the whisky develops its classic character.
• Second Cask: After this, it is transferred to sherry casks (often European oak), which impart a rich fruitiness and additional complexity.

This dual maturation process creates a layered flavour profile, combining the influence of both American oak (for a smooth, vanilla-like sweetness) and European oak (for deeper, spicier, and fruity notes).

Flavour Profile:

• Nose: On the nose, it has a rich, honeyed sweetness with a gentle hint of dried fruits (like raisins and sultanas) and a touch of oak. There are also subtle floral and vanilla notes.
• Palate: The taste is smooth and well-balanced. There are flavours of dried fruit, such as apricots and raisins, alongside rich toffee, vanilla, and oak spice. The sherry cask influence comes through with a slightly nutty, warming, and fruity character, while the bourbon cask gives it a round, sweet, and creamy mouthfeel.
• Finish: The finish is long, smooth, and slightly dry with lingering oak and spice notes, with just a hint of sherry sweetness.
