Balvenie 12 Years Double Wood with 2 Glasses
Balvenie Double Wood 12 years celebrated its 25. birthday in 2018. This milestone started in 1993 and is proof of talent in the craftsmanship of malt master David Stewart, who developed a procedure in 1982, which is known as 'Wood Finishing' today. Ex-Bourbon casks from American oak and Hogsheads were used for the 12 year old Balvenie Double Wood. A finish in Ex-Oloroso Sherry casks made from Spanish oak follows.

Comment:
I need to try this again. I had a few years ago, but was not drinking a lot of scotch back then. I remember feeling a little underwhelmed. Thought it lacked fruitiness. Seemed rather dry. Very wood-like. Will try again!

Taste:
Finish: Long
Comment: A delicious smooth drop. Reminiscent of a sweet vanilla sponge cake topped with caramelised fruit and dusted with light spices. A definite woody undertone with a minor nutty undertone and a slight dark chocolate taste at the back. A must for any collection.
