Whisky Review: Balvenie 12-Year DoubleWood
Whisky Review is a American whisky. ABV: 40% ABV; ages in ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads . Our expert rating is 7/10.
Tasting Notes
Nose
The nose greets you with sweet peat, flowers and a touch of alcohol. Successive nosing I found apple juice and almonds.
Palate
Smoke, with a faint hint of dark chocolate dipped cherries, pecans, and salt brine. The taste isnt overly expressive; however, the flavors were easy to decipher. The finish was a medium length with a slight burn in the throat leading to a warming of the chest. It had a drying effect on the mouth but remained pleasant.
