Balvenie Doublewood
Type: Single malt, cask-finished Strength: 43 percent ABV Years in cask: 12 Owners: William Grant & Sons Ltd Rating: ***
	The practice of maturing in two casks is used to produce desirable flavours in a whisky. In this example it is evidently, if unspectacularly, successful. The profile is not as good as you would get after twelve years in a good and active single cask.
