Balvenie 12 Years Double Wood with 2 Glasses

Balvenie Double Wood 12 years celebrated its 25. birthday in 2018. This milestone started in 1993 and is proof of talent in the craftsmanship of malt master David Stewart, who developed a procedure in 1982, which is known as 'Wood Finishing' today. Ex-Bourbon casks from American oak and Hogsheads were used for the 12 year old Balvenie Double Wood. A finish in Ex-Oloroso Sherry casks made from Spanish oak follows.

Comment:
This one has a little bit dry taste than expected for me. This drum has a typical character that changes its palate with original oak taste into the orange taste over time. I have to admit Balvenie 12 is very rich whisky compared with other 12 yo.
