Product description

Product description
Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old celebrated its 25th birthday in 2018. This milestone began in 1993 and is proof of the craftsmanship of Malt Master David Stewart, who developed a process in 1982 that is now known as 'wood finishing'.
Ex-bourbon casks made from American oak and hogsheads are used for the 12-year-old Balvenie Double Wood. This Single Malt is then matured in ex-Oloroso sherry casks made from Spanish oak.

Aroma: Oak Orange Sherry Almonds

Geschmack: Oak Sweet Sherry

Abgang: Nuts Malt Spices

Kommentar: Angenehme Mischung aus fruchtigen Sherry Noten, deutlich wahrnehmbare Nuancen von Zitrus, im Geschmack schön eichig und dann mit nussig-malzig-würzigem Abgang. Der Archetyp unter den Speyside Whiskys.

Aroma: Oak Pear Plum Spices Sweet

Geschmack: Oak Sweet Spices Nuts

Abgang: Sweet Peat Smoke Oak

Kommentar: Angenehm mild. Schmeckt anfangs angenehm süß und leicht nach Nuss. Später im Abgang schmecke ich etwas holziges bzw. rauchiges und weniger Süße.
