The Balvenie4.7(47 reviews)
The Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood is a single malt Scotch whisky that undergoes a unique maturation process. First aged in traditional oak whisky casks, it is then transferred to first-fill European oak sherry casks for a finishing period. This technique imparts rich, mellow flavors with layers of honey, vanilla, and dried fruit. The result is a beautifully balanced whisky with a warm, lingering finish.

“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Salt Lake and picked up Balvenie 12 Yrs. At ₹6,000 in Kolkata, this represents incredible value. The notes of Honey and Vanilla pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Kosha. Highly recommended!”
