Description
To make The Balvenie DoubleWood, David Stewart MBE takes whisky that has spent at least 12 years in traditional whisky casks, American Oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads, and moves it to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks for an additional nine months.
The whisky is then transferred to large oak vessels called “tuns” for 3-4 months to allow the whiskies from individual casks to “marry”.
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.

Introducing Balvenie 12 Year Single Malt Whisky, a true testament to the artistry and dedication that goes into crafting exceptional Scotch whisky. Situated in the heart of Speyside, Scotland, the Balvenie distillery has been producing whiskies of unparalleled quality since 1892, and the Balvenie 12 Year is no exception.
This exquisite single malt begins its journey with the careful selection of the finest locally grown barley, which is then malted and smoked over traditional peat fires. The malted barley is ground into a fine grist and combined with pure water sourced from the nearby Robbie Dhu springs, renowned for their crispness and purity. This combination of high-quality ingredients lays the foundation for the exceptional flavors that unfold throughout the aging process.
Balvenie 12 Year is aged in a combination of traditional oak casks and European oak sherry casks, carefully handpicked by the Balvenie Malt Master. Over the course of 12 years, the whisky matures in these casks, allowing it to develop a rich, complex character and absorb the subtle nuances of the wood. This careful aging process ensures a whisky that is both balanced and full of depth.
