Distiller's Background:
The Balvenie Distillery was established in 1892 by William Grant, who constructed the site on the grounds of the disused Balvenie New House. Today, The Balvenie is one of the last remaining distilleries in Scotland to maintain all five rare crafts of whisky-making on site: growing its barley, malting its grain, having its coppersmiths and coopers, and employing an in-house Malt Master. David C. Stewart MBE, the creative force behind the DoubleWood 12, served as Malt Master for decades before passing the role to Kelsey McKechnie, who has continued the legacy of excellence with over 10 years at the distillery.
Serving Suggestions:
Best served neat or with a few drops of water to awaken its layered complexities, The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 pairs beautifully with smoked almonds, hard cheeses, or spiced desserts like sticky toffee pudding. Ideal serving temperature: 18–22°C.
This expression is a testament to time-honored methods and modern ingenuity, delivering rich, honeyed elegance with every sip. With David Stewart’s pioneering vision and the steadfast stewardship of William Grant & Sons, The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 remains a cornerstone of the Speyside tradition and a global icon of Scottish whisky.
