Main highlights

This whisky spends at least 12 years in traditional American oak whisky barrels (Ex Bourbon Barrels and Hogsheads) and is then re-aged for another nine months in former Spanish oak sherry barrels (ex-Oloroso)
Then a re-maturation takes place for about 3 to 4 months in large oak barrels, the so-called tuns, so that the whiskies from the individual barrels can blend together as much as possible
The fragrance impresses with sweet fruit and oloroso sherry notes, with a hint of honey and vanilla
The Balvenie DoubleWood Single Malt Whisky gets its distinctive character through the maturation in two different types of wood. This approach gives our single malt whisky its very special quality
Thanks to the natural alchemy and centuries-old craftsmanship, The Balvenie is unique among single malts
Smooth and soft in taste, thanks to wonderfully corresponding aromas - in the form of sweet nut notes, a fine cinnamon spice and hints of the finest Oloroso Sherry. A long and warm finish
