- You stand out with a whisky that bears the "signature" of the legend David Stewart, offering a result so refined that it appeals equally to new explorers and experienced Single Malt enthusiasts.

Description
Specifications
The Balvenie Doublewood is a 12-year-old Single Malt from a distillery that has been crafting its spirits since 1892, using exclusively its own barley in a handcrafted manner. During its maturation period, The Balvenie Double Wood is transferred from the traditional oak barrels in which it initially matured, to Spanish oak barrels that were previously used for sherry maturation. Each of these two stages imparts different virtues to The Balvenie Double Wood: the traditional barrels, having previously housed bourbon, soften the whisky and give it character, while the sherry barrels add depth and richness to the flavor.
Aroma: Notes of ripe & sweet fruits, sherry, vanilla and honey.
