Product Description

The Balvenie DoubleWood acquires its complex yet rich and smooth taste from its maturation in two different types of oak cask. Whisky Oak Many years of maturation in traditional whisky casks mellows the maturing spirit and imparts warming layers of vanilla spiciness. Sherry Oak Further maturation in European oak sherry casks increases complexity, bringing fruity, honeyed depths to the resulting single malt. DoubleWood The traditional crafts of malt whisky making still flourish at the Balvenie Distillery. The Balvenie Distillery has been owned and managed by the same independent family company for five generations. Nowhere else will you find a distillery that still grows its own barley, still malts in its own traditional floor maltings and still employs a team of coopers to tend all the casks and a coppersmith to maintain the stills. The fifth rare craft is that of Malt Master, David Stewart. Over fifty years of experience enables him to skillfully use different types of cask and different ages of spirit to craft The Balvenie range of single malts. Each expression has a different taste, but all share a rich, honeyed character. Warehouse 24 is The Balvenie's community for whisky enthusiasts who want to delve a little deeper into the world of the handcrafted single malt.

What critics and judges wrote

Wine Enthusiast · Kara Newman · December 2015
Silky and downright succulent … Aromas suggest golden raisins and dried apricots. The silky palate starts out moderately smoky, but glides into a richer, honeyed, nutty profile that finishes with cocoa and clove accents.

First nosing exposes dry scents of walnuts, grass and dark toffee. Entry is malty and vanilla—extract bittersweet; midpalate is silky, creamy, Sherry sweet, pruny and black raisin-like. Ends on a dark chocolate note that's chewy, medium-sweet and satisfying.
Whisky Advocate · David Fleming · 2024
Dry on the nose, with pleasant aromas of citrus and a hint of soapiness and waxiness. Full-flavored on the palate with deep notes of chocolate and brown sugar accented by pepper spice.

Floral on the nose, with honey, oak, and almonds. Spicy sherry, nutmeg, and dried fruit on the silky palate. Quite long in the finish, with a hint of orange, plus drying spices. Elegant, yet robust.

Flavor scores are our estimates. A flavor scores higher when more critics mention it and when they describe it more strongly, so no single review sets the result. They are not a rating from any publication.
