The Balvenie 25th Anniversary Edition

2018 marked the 25th anniversary of The Balvenie DoubleWood, aged 12 years. This milestone is not only a testament to the craftsmen who have dedicated their working lives to making Balvenie the handcrafted way but to the skill of our Malt Master who throughout his 55-year career has changed the face of Scotch, work which earned him an MBE in 2016.  The Balvenie 12 years old Double Wood acquires its complex yet rich and smooth taste from its maturation in two different types of casks, carefully selected by award-winning Malt Master, Mr. David Stewart. First Cask: many years of maturation exclusively in traditional whisky oak casks. Second Cask: A further few months’ maturation in European oak sherry casks.
