Distillery Location
Balvenie - 12 Year Old (Double Wood)'s home is Distillery Location distillery, in the Speyside region of Scotland.

The Balvenie distillery is a Speyside single malt Scotch whisky distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, owned by William Grant & Sons.

In early 1892 work began to convert an 18th-century mansion (Balvenie New House) into a distillery.  The building took fifteen months to complete, and on 1 May 1893, the first distillation took place at the Balvenie Distillery.

In 2007, The Balvenie's Global Brand Ambassador, David Mair presented an online documentary series about the making of malt whisky, shot in and around the Balvenie Distillery.

Rich and indulgent, this flavour profile bursts with sugary notes of caramel, fruit, honey and vanilla.

Reminiscent of roasted nuts such as almonds, hazelnuts and walnuts, this flavour profile is slightly sweet with a buttery undertone.
Cinnamon
This delicately spicy flavour profile brings warm, sweet undertones reminiscent of the comforting aroma of freshly baked cinnamon rolls.

    A very nice tipple

    My favorite whiskey so far and I will certainly be buying another bottle. I tried the first bottle following the StillSpirit review on YouTube. Whilst I do not have the nose to pinpoint the scents I do like the smell colour and taste of this whiskey
