Balvenie DoubleWood is, to not much surprise, aged in two kinds of oak casks.
Sweet with good body. The bourbon characters develop; gentle spice with a little vanilla, a hint of balancing peat lurking quietly in the substrata.
Dried fruit combining with nuts, nutmeg, cinnamon, back into the bourbon notes - so well integrated.
Gristy, supple nuttiness intertwined with spices. Honeyed sultanas and grapes. Hugely inviting.
ABV: 40%
