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: Honey Nuts

Geschmack: Nuts Sweet etwas Sherry

Abgang: Nuts Sherry

Kommentar: Zu Beginn fand ich den Double Wood echt gut. War mein erster Scotch. Jetzt wo ich andere probiert habe, muss ich sagen ist der Double Wood, gerade zu dem Preis (Balvenie...), eher meh. Es gibt günstigere Scotches, ohne Färbung und ohne Kühlfiltrierung, die einem die Welt des Scotch besser zeigen als Anfänger.
