The Balvenie 12 Years Old Double Wood Single Malt Whisky is an outstanding example of traditional Scottish craftsmanship and comes from the renowned The Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Speyside. This single malt whisky is matured for over twelve years in two different types of cask, which gives it its unrivalled depth and complexity. Firstly, the whisky is matured for many years in classic American oak whisky casks (ex-bourbon casks), which give it soft vanilla flavours and delicate, spicy notes. This is followed by a second maturation in European Oloroso sherry casks, which give the whisky additional complexity, fruity richness and honeyed depth. This double maturation process - which gives the whisky its name "Double Wood" - gives it an exceptional balance between sweetness, spice and wood character.


Bottled at 40% vol., The Balvenie Double Wood 12 Years Old is a harmonious, velvety Speyside single malt that will delight both beginners and connoisseurs alike. Its warm, inviting flavour is the result of decades of experience and the care that Balvenie puts into every distillation. The two glasses included make this set an ideal gift idea for whisky lovers or special moments of enjoyment for two.

The Balvenie 12 Years Double Wood is an aromatic delight on its own or with a few drops of water, revealing its full complexity. It harmonises particularly well with mild cheese, roasted nuts or desserts with caramel and honey, which perfectly complement its sweet and spicy nuances. It also goes wonderfully with smoked salmon, duck breast with orange reduction or a crème brûlée, whose caramelised surface corresponds with the vanilla sweetness of the whisky. A stylish accompaniment to a quiet evening, this Speyside single malt ensures a long-lasting moment of pleasure that combines tradition and elegance.
