The Balvenie Doublewood Single Malt Scotch Whisky is a 12 year old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two woods. During its period of maturation The Balvenie Doublewood is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill Spanish oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt - the traditional casks, having previously held bourbon, soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.

Color Carmel

Nose Sweat maple smell

Body Full bodied from start to finish

Palate Starts with a sweet taste one the front with hints of maple and fades with a smokey, slightly peaty finish

Finish Smokey finish fades so slowly it seems like it will last indefinately

Caol Ila

For lovers of Ardbeg, Laphroaig, and Lagavulin, this Islay distillery is less famous but very highly rated.

Taste sweet of malt and smokey. Last quite long but just not long enough.

Overall. 8 out of 10
