Origin and Heritage
Balvenie DoubleWood 12 hails from the Balvenie Distillery in Dufftown, Scotland, founded in 1892 by William Grant, also of Glenfiddich fame, under William Grant & Sons. A Speyside pioneer, Balvenie is one of few distilleries with in-house floor malting, using locally grown barley. Master Blender David Stewart introduced wood finishing, maturing this whisky in ex-bourbon casks for 12 years, then sherry casks for up to a year, creating its signature depth. Its 2006 International Spirits Challenge gold medal underscores its prestige, making it a top choice for Nairobi’s whisky elite.
Taste Profile
Balvenie DoubleWood 12 (40% ABV) offers a refined, complex profile, rated 87/100 by Whisky Advocate for its balance. The nose captivates with honey, vanilla, and peach, laced with cinnamon and faint heather. On the palate, it delivers a silky texture, blending sweet sherry notes, raspberries, chocolate, and spicy oak, with a touch of brioche. The finish is medium-long, warm, and sweet, with caramel apple and clove lingering. Best savored neat or with a drop of water in a Glencairn glass, its elegance enchants Nairobi’s connoisseurs.
Ideal Pairings and Best Use Occasions
Balvenie 12’s honeyed richness pairs beautifully with Nairobi’s cuisine. Enhance its fruit and spice with nyama choma, smoked salmon, or aged cheddar for a refined tasting. For dessert, pair with chocolate truffles or mango tart to amplify its sweetness. It shines neat or in a Rob Roy, perfect for Nairobi’s upscale events—corporate dinners, weddings, or festive toasts. Serve at 15–18°C to unlock its aromas. A superb gift for milestones, it can be personalized with custom engraving. Visit our Shop page to explore more premium spirits.
