The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky 750ml Cabernet Sauvignon dry September that slowed ripeningSCOTLAND : SPEYSIDE 100% Malted Barley MEDIUM, HONEY, VANILLA, DRIED FRUIT, DARK CHOCOLATE, SHERRY SPICE Balvenie's flagship expression since 1993. Malt Master David Stewart developed the double maturation technique here: at least 12 years in ex bourbon American oak, then 9 months in ex Oloroso sherry casks, then 3 to 4 months in large tuns to marry. The bourbon wood imparts the vanilla and honey; the sherry finish adds depth, dried fruit, and spice.
