Description

This limited edition Balvenie DoubleWood 25 Year Old was created by Malt Master David C. Stewart MBE to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Balvenie DoubleWood, which was first released in 1993. The whisky was distilled in 1993 and matured for 25 years, initially in traditional American oak casks, and then finished for three months in Spanish oak ex-Oloroso sherry casks to increase complexity and add fruity, honeyed depths. This release was made available globally in limited numbers, with approximately 3,600 bottles.
