The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 is a Speyside single malt that earns its name from a two-cask maturation, first resting in traditional American oak before being finished in European oak sherry casks. That marriage gives it a signature layered character of honey and vanilla brightened by sherried red fruit, caramel and a touch of spice. A multiple gold medalist and longtime benchmark for the distillery, it remains one of the most rewarding introductions to Balvenie's handcrafted style.
