Distillery : Balvenie (The) / Country : Scotland / Reference: : 23570
The Scottish distillery The Balvenie offers a special Single Malt designed by David Stewart, cellar master of the distillery. This limited edition is a tribute to the 25th anniversary of the "DoubleWood" technique, a process of double maturation in Bourbon casks and Sherry casks initiated by David Stewart.

This whisky 25-year-old Double Wood has been a distillery-based blend since 1993, when the 12-year-old Double Wood was launched. It was then aged in Oloroso Sherry casks for 3 months.

The first maturation in Bourbon barrels brings to the whisky notes of vanilla and the second in Sherry barrels brings notes of spices and dried fruits.

The Balvenie is a small distillery nestled in the Scottish Highlands, at the heart of the land of whisky: Speyside.


The Balvenie is a real museum, as nothing changed much since its establishment in 1892. Its name derives from the Balvenie castle (13th century), located a few hundred yards away. Since 1892, it has been family-owned and family-run. This independence allows the distillery to focus exclusively on the production of traditional craft Single Malts. The name “Balvenie” is a mystery in itself. If “Bal” means house or farm in Gaelic, the meaning of “Venie” has been lost. The Balvenie is proud to be one of the last four distilleries of the Highlands to use a traditional malting area. Four maltmen turn the malt three times a day, seven days a week, to even out the germination. The nine stills are placed under the close surveillance of a skilled blacksmith. In order to keep all of the character of The Balvenie Single Malts, the stills in used today are the exact replica of the originals. Until today, the oak casks are crafted by coopers, continuing the traditions and maintaining the skills alive as an heritage of ancient craftsmanship.

Nose: malty and oaky with hints of cloves, cinnamon, candied orange, honey and spices.

Palate: sweet and rich with orange peel, red sugar, honey, dried fruits, spices.

Finish: long on Sherry and spices.
