Distiller's Notes: The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 year old single malt gains its distinctive character from aging in two wood types. After the initial period of maturation in traditional oak whisky cask, the Scotch is moved to a first fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt ~ the traditional casks soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavor.
