Portrait: What makes the Balvenie 12 year old Double Wood with tumbler so special

The Balvenie 12 year old Double Wood is a whisky that is not so easy to define - and that is exactly what makes it so special. It spends a full 11.5 years in ex-bourbon casks before being transferred to exclusive sherry casks for a further 6 months. Two maturation locations, one goal: perfection in every facet. You could say this single malt is a true globetrotter – just without a passport. The Double Wood is produced at the traditional Balvenie Distillery in the heart of Scotland's Speyside region. There, they rely on genuine craftsmanship – from their own barley fields and traditional malting floors to their own coopers. Here, whisky is still made with passion, patience, and a touch of Scottish pride. That something special emerges from this comes as no surprise.
But Balvenie wouldn't be Balvenie if it didn't also present itself in style: In this gift set, the Double Wood comes together with an elegant Balvenie tumbler – a robust glass bearing the brand's logo. Perfect for enjoying the whisky in style, whether neat, with an ice cube, or simply as a decorative statement on the table.

This set is ideal for connoisseurs who appreciate high-quality craftsmanship, or for anyone who wants to delight a whisky fan. Everything about it is just right: tradition, quality, and a touch of humor – after all, it takes a certain amount of self-confidence to call two casks home.

Conclusion: The Balvenie 12 year old Double Wood is a single malt with history, style, and personality – a gift that shows that good things take time, craftsmanship, and sometimes two casks.
