Balvenie 12 Years Old DoubleWood 70cl 40°
The Balvenie Double Wood is a 12 Year-Old double matured Single Malt. This specific maturation process brings special qualities to the Single Malt. 12 Year-Old Balvenie has been aged in traditional oak casks and then in first fill Sherry casks. As traditional oak casks soften the spirit and account for its character, Sherry casks provide its full, mellow texture.
Due to this process, The Balvenie 12 Years Old DoubleWood is often described as the "richest and smoothest of Malts".

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.
