One of Speyside's most beloved expressions, The Balvenie 12 Year DoubleWood is a classic Single Malt Scotch matured for 12 years in traditional American oak whisky casks, then transferred to Oloroso sherry casks for additional maturation — a process that adds a rich layer of dried fruit, spice, and sweetness to the whisky's naturally honeyed Speyside character. Non-peated, approachable, and endlessly rewarding.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Warm honey, citrus, and vanilla with a gentle floral sweetness
• Palate: Rich and smooth with red berries, plum, sherry, caramel, and butterscotch
• Finish: Long, warming, and slightly sweet — a classic Speyside farewell

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the DoubleWood process?

DoubleWood refers to The Balvenie's signature two-cask maturation — first in American oak whisky casks for the base character, then finished in Oloroso sherry casks to add dried fruit, spice, and richness. This dual-cask approach is what gives the 12 Year its distinctive depth and complexity.

Is The Balvenie 12 Year peated?

No — The Balvenie 12 Year DoubleWood is non-peated, making it an excellent choice for those who prefer a sweeter, fruit-forward Scotch without smoky or peaty notes.

How should I serve it?

Best enjoyed neat or with a small drop of still water to open up the honey and sherry notes. Also excellent on the rocks for a more relaxed sip.
