The Balvenie DoubleWood is a well-regarded single malt Scotch whisky produced by The Balvenie distillery, which is situated in Dufftown, Scotland. It is known for its distinctive maturation process, which involves aging the whisky in two different types of oak casks, hence the name "DoubleWood."
The maturation process begins with the whisky being aged in traditional oak whisky casks. After a period of maturation, the whisky is transferred to casks that were previously used to mature sherry. This secondary aging process in the sherry casks imparts additional flavors and characteristics to the whisky.
The use of both types of casks—first bourbon oak barrels, then sherry oak casks—contributes to the unique flavor profile of The Balvenie DoubleWood. It's known for its smoothness, rich and complex flavors, and a balance of fruity, nutty, and spicy notes.
The aging process in two different wood types allows the whisky to absorb various flavors from the wood, adding layers of complexity to the final product. The result is a whisky appreciated by enthusiasts for its depth of flavors and the interplay between the influences of the different casks.
The Balvenie DoubleWood is typically available in different age statements, such as 12 years, 17 years, or older, with each expression offering its own nuances and depth of flavors. It has gained a strong reputation among whisky aficionados for its quality craftsmanship and unique maturation process.
