The story of Balvenie 12YO Doublewood
The Balvenie is a Speyside single malt distillery in Dufftown, owned by William Grant & Sons. William Grant left Mortlach after about twenty years and bought a field near Balvenie Castle. Work to convert an eighteenth century mansion, Balvenie New House, began in early 1892, and the first distillation took place on 1 May 1893. It is the only distillery that still practises all five of its rare crafts on site, including growing barley, malting, coppersmithing and coopering.
DoubleWood 12 shows what two woods can do. The whisky is aged for 12 years in American oak ex-bourbon barrels, then finished in Spanish Oloroso sherry casks and married in large tuns. It was launched in 1993, and the wood finishing method behind it was pioneered by the malt master David Stewart MBE, who joined the distillery in 1962. It is bottled at 40%.
Expect orchard fruit, Oloroso sherry, honey and vanilla on the nose, then a creamy palate with raisin, cinnamon and dark fruit, and a warm finish with toasted oak and honey.
Serve it neat in a tulip glass, with a splash of water if you like, as an after dinner dram.
