Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood Miniature – 20cl (40% ABV)

A Masterclass in Double Maturation

The Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood is a testament to the art of cask finishing, offering an exceptionally smooth and complex single malt whisky. This 20cl miniature is the perfect way to experience the depth of Balvenie’s craftsmanship in a smaller, more accessible format.

Double Cask Maturation for Exceptional Depth

Balvenie’s DoubleWood gains its rich and layered profile through a carefully curated two-cask aging process:

• First Cask – Traditional Oak
  Matured in ex-bourbon casks, the whisky develops subtle vanilla, honey, and malt notes, providing a smooth and mellow base.
• Second Cask – European Sherry Oak
  A secondary aging in first-fill sherry casks adds richness, spice, and a deep fruitiness, creating warmth and complexity in every sip.

Tasting Notes

• Nose – Sweet honey, dried fruit, and nutty undertones with a hint of warm spice.
• Palate – A balance of sherry warmth and vanilla sweetness, with notes of toasted almonds, orange zest, and cinnamon spice.
• Finish – Long and warming, with a lingering spiced oak and dried fruit character.

A Whisky for Any Occasion

Perfect for both newcomers and connoisseurs, Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood is best enjoyed neat or with a drop of water to fully appreciate its nuanced depth. Its smaller 20cl size makes it ideal for gifting or for discovering the beauty of double maturation.
