Balvenie 12YO DoubleWood Single Malt Scotch Whisky

A stalwart from Speyside, the Balvenie distillery is just next door to Glenfiddich and is known for its custardy, creamy style of whisky. This ‘Doublewood’ expression is a combination of two cask types, one American oak and the other from Spanish sherry casks. Sherry and honey mingle together along with dried fruits, Christmas spices, and baked green apples. A classic expression of Scotland’s famous Speyside region.

On the nose, gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting. Sweet palate with a good body. The bourbon characters develop; a gentle spice with a little vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata. Dried fruit too, combined with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, back into the bourbon notes – so well integrated. Spicy finish, slightly drying, but still sweet.

Balvenie 14YO Caribbean Cask Single Malt Scotch Whisky A terrific single malt from The Balvenie. This Speysider was initially aged in traditional oak casks before it was finished in casks that previously held Caribbean rum, imparting some extra sweetness and warmth to the whisky. In fact, to create it, Balvenie malt master David C. Stewart made his very own blend of West Indian rums, filled it into casks, and then eventually replaced the rum in said casks with Balvenie’s whisky! The fabulous result is a well-rounded whisky with notes of toffee, fruit, and vanilla.
