Tasting notes for Balvenie 12 year old “Doublewood”

» See All Single Malt Scotch Whisky Reviews «

Distillery bottling, 43% a.b.v.

Distinctly orangey.  Pronounced citrus notes in the nose, with some peat.  Sherried, smooth, sweet, honeyed.  Flavors of heather, orange, and lemon.  The finish is highly reminiscent of bourbon.  Orange “honey sticks” late into the finish.  Rich, oaky, delicious.
