The Balvenie Doublewood 12 Year Old is a beautifully smooth and easy drinking whisky which carries great quality to all the senses.  First you encounter a balanced yet sweet fruitiness alongside sherry on the nose with layers of honey and vanilla following.  The taste is where that incredible smoothness really appears with mellow flavours including nutty sweetness, cinnamon and a perfect quantity of the aforementioned sherry from the casking.  The finish is warming and shows good length.
