The Balvenie Distillery has been owned and managed by the same independent family company for five generations.
The Balvenie DoubleWood acquires its complex yet rich and smooth taste from its maturation in two different types of oak casks.
The first cask is the Whisky Oak Cask where many years of maturation in traditional whisky casks mellows the maturing spirit and imparts warming layers of vanilla spiciness.
The second cask is the Sherry Oak Cask where further maturation in European oak Sherry casks increases the complexity to bring fruity honeyed depths to the resulting Single Malt.
The traditional casks soften and add delicate character, the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour and the final few months in our tuns allow the whiskies to marry harmoniously.
NOSE: Sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes, layered with honey and vanilla.
TASTE: Smooth and mellow with beautifully combined flavours ~ nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry.
FINISH: Long and Warming
