The Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey was launched in 1993, using a process designed by our Malt Master David Stewart in 1982, now commonly known as ‘wood finishing’. The Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two woods. Over its period of maturation, it is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt – the traditional casks soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.
