Mina kommentarer:
Svårt att bestämma mig vad det gäller denna. Lutar åt att den är något sämre än 10-åringen.

Tasting notes från Malt Maniacs: Officiella tasting notes:

And what a coincidence: the Balvenie 12yo DoubleWood (43%, OB, L6M 7303 1505, Bottled +/- 2003) happens to be the next malt on my list. This has been an old favourite of mine since I discovered it in the mid 1990's.
Nose: Aaaah.... Sherry and organics. Marzipan. Furniture polish. Wood. Fruit sweets.
Malty. Something spicy around the corner. Hugely entertaining - never a dull moment.
Palate: Woody start. Sweet, full-bodied centre. Sherried. Spicy finish. I love this stuff.
Score: 86 points . The Doublewood is still going strong. Highly recommendable.

Nose ~ Sweet fruit and oloroso sherry notes, layered with honey and vanilla.

Taste ~ A smooth and mellow single malt of beautifully combined flavours - nutty sweetness, cinnamon spiciness and a delicately proportioned layer of sherry - with a long and warming finish.
