About this product
Sherry warmth. Oak elegance. A classic redefined.
Balvenie DoubleWood is the single malt that put cask finishing on the map. First matured in traditional ex-bourbon oak, then banked in European sherry casks, it’s a Speyside whisky that balances depth with grace. The result is a rich, flavorful dram that’s smooth, approachable, and endlessly comforting.
Whether it's your first single malt or a dependable favourite, this is one to savour — perfect for welcoming whisky newcomers in Ireland or treating yourself after a long day.
Why we love it:
It’s the magic of two woods in one bottle. The ex-bourbon casks bring honey, vanilla, and soft fruit; the sherry casks add weight, dried fruit, and spicy richness — all unified by masterful marrying in large oak tuns. It’s full of character yet timelessly smooth.
