The Balvenie DoubleWood is aged up to 12 years in traditional oak casks and then finished up to six months in sherry oak casks. The sherry cask finish brings depth and fullness of flavor, with rich fruit and nutty sweetness.
The Balvenie DoubleWood single malt whisky gains its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood types. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt whisky.
The traditional casks soften and add delicate character, the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour and the final few months in our tuns allow the whiskies to marry harmoniously.
