🏡 Production & Origin

Crafted in Speyside, Scotland, The Balvenie DoubleWood is aged for at least 12 years, spending time in two types of cask. Initial maturation in traditional American oak develops soft vanilla and honey notes, while finishing in European oak sherry casks adds richness and spice. This “double wood” process creates balance, depth and complexity.
