Balvenie 12 Year Old DoubleWood (Speyside Single Malt, 40% ABV)
A classic Speyside whisky matured in two cask types: first ex-bourbon American oak for honeyed vanilla sweetness, then finished in ex-Oloroso sherry butts for extra depth, nutty richness, gentle spice, and a touch of dried fruit. Smooth, balanced, and easy to enjoy neat or with a small splash of water.
