Hi Malt Mates
Today I post my very first official whisky review.
The whisky that I’m
going to taste is the Balvenie DoubleWood which is aged for 12 years. Before I
get started I want to write a couple of words about the distillery. Balvenie is
a Speyside distillery that is located just outside Dufftown. It was founded in
1892 by William J. Grant who is also the founder of the Glenfiddich Distillery.
The two distilleries are actually located on the same site and are still owned
by William Grant & Son. You can check out their website here
The whisky
is bottled at the legal minimum of 40% ABV and is most likely coloured and
chillfiltered. As the name tells us it is matured in two different kinds of
casks.
