For Gifting
The Balvenie: For those who have a taste for finer things in life, the perfect gift would be a special one that boasts of uniqueness, individuality, luxury and is exclusively handcrafted. The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts created by Malt Master David Stewart. The Balvenie DoubleWood Aged 12 years gains its distinctive character from being matured in two different wood types. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt whisky. To make The Balvenie DoubleWood, David Stewart MBE takes whisky that has spent at least 12 years in traditional whisky casks, American oak ex-bourbon barrels and hogsheads, and moved to Spanish oak ex-Oloroso, sherry casks for an additional nine months. The traditional casks soften and add delicate character, the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour and the final few months in our tuns allow the whiskies to marry harmoniously. (IANS)
