Malt Whisky

The Balvenie DoubleWood 12-year-old single malt whisky picks up its particular character from being developed in two wood types. To make The Balvenie DoubleWood, David Stewart MBE takes whisky that has gone through in any event 12 years in customary whisky containers, American Oak ex-whiskey barrels and hogsheads, and moves it to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry barrels for an extra nine months. The whisky is then moved to huge oak vessels called "tuns" for 3-4 months to permit the whiskies to "marry". Each stage loans various characteristics to the subsequent single malt whisky. The conventional containers mellow and add sensitive character, the sherry wood brings profundity and totality of flavor and the last couple of months in our tuns permit the whiskies to marry amicably.

Malt Master David Stewart, who praised his 50th year at The Balvenie in 2012, got back to one of his most commended accomplishments – successive development in two unique sorts of barrels, a cycle regularly alluded to as 'container wrapping up'. This method is at the core of The Balvenie DoubleWood – it sees the whisky developed first in American oak barrels, which confer delicate sweet vanilla notes, prior to being moved to European oak sherry containers, where the subsequent barrel maturing adds rich zesty flavors and profundity and totality of flavor.
