Description

The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts created by David Stewart, The Balvenie Malt Master. Each has its own unique taste, but each is rich, luxuriously smooth and underpinned by the distinctively honeyed character of The Balvenie. The exceptional quality of The Balvenie is attributable to the unique craftsmanship retained by The Balvenie Distillery. Nowhere else will you find a distillery that still grows its own barley, malts in its own traditional floor maltings, employs a team of coopers to tend its casks, a coppersmith to maintain its stills and has in its service the most experienced Malt Master in Scotland. The Balvenie DoubleWood is a 12-year-old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two woods. Over its period of maturation, it is transferred from a second-fill traditional oak whisky cask to a first-fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt.
