Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old 700ml

Balvenie Double Wood 12 Year Old 700mlThe Balvenie DoubleWood single malt whisky gains its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood types. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt whisky. The traditional casks soften and add delicate character, the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour and the final few months in our tuns allow the whiskies to marry harmoniously. TASTING NOTES NOSE: Sweet fruit and Oloroso sherry notes, layered
