The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old Whisky
The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 single malt whisky gains its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood types. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt whisky. Even at 12 years old, this rich and complex dram is an excellent example of what the Balvenie distillery can craft.
Balvenie DoubleWood 12 whisky was launched in 1993, using a process designed by their Former Malt Master David C. Stewart in 1982, now commonly known as 'wood finishing'.
The whisky is finished in two casks:
- First Cask - Whisky oak: Many years of maturation in traditional whisky casks mellows the maturating spirit and imparts warming layers of vanilla spiciness.
- Second Cask - Sherry Oak: Further maturation in European Oak Sherry casks increases complexity, bringing fruity, honeyed depths to the resulting Single Malt.
The whisky is then transferred to large oak vessels called 'tuns' for three to four months to allow the whiskies from individual casks to marry.
