And it wasn’t even his first one as he opened \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Glenfiddich distillery\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; in 1886! Busy man. Anyway, only a year later, in 1893, the first Whisky distillation took place at the same site in the Scottish Highlands where Balvenie Speysiders are produced still today. (Ah, don’t you just love it when good things stay the same.)\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Balvenie is still one of a handful of distilleries in Scotland to grow its own barley, use \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;traditional floor maltings \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;and even keep a team of coopers on site to take care of their copper stills. And last but not least, they’ve got Malt Master \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;David C. Stewart MBE, \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;one of the industry most experienced experts who joined Balvanie in \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;1962 \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;at 17 and is still overseeing the production of the most hand-crafted of Single Malts.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;The Balvenie 12 Year Old Doublewood\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; is one of their most popular creations. First launched in 1993 by the one and only David Stewart, this dram was quite the revolution back in the day, using the\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; ‘wood finishing’ process \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;Stewart designed in 1982 – doublewood. So, what’s it all about? First, the brown stuff spends at least 12 years in traditional \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;ex-Bourbon barrels,\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; then, it’s moved to\u0026lt;em\u0026gt; ex-Oloroso Sherry casks \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;for another 9 months. Finally, individual casks are “married” in large tuns for 3-4 months. Bottled at 80 proof on site, this beauty is soft and delicate but full of depth and flavor at the same time.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;*This bottle is a collector’s item; we will not be able to entertain any refunds or exchanges.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;**Individual orders are limited to one item per person, as we wish to give everyone the opportunity to participate.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;***Any kind of transit damage is insured and will be reimbursed.\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45135672344758,"sku":"60522","price":22.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/thebalveniedoublewood12yearold_60522_01_567b8319_d0839746-cf94-42eb-872e-aaea86c6367d.jpg?v=1779276132","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/thebalveniedoublewood12yearoldsinglemaltscotchwhisky-700ml-60522","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
