The Balvenie5(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.
