My goodness. Here we are again with another review on whisk(e)y, but unlike my previous brotheren, bourbon, I've ventured into the scotch side of things. Here we go. The Balvenie Doublewood 12 is simply full of good flavor. I would agree with the pro-reviewer as you can smell a whiff of grape along with vanilla. The taste is ridiculously smooth. I left my dram sitting for 30 minutes after my first sip and noticed a difference as it opened up more. A friend recommend this and although I wish it had a bit more bite (abv), i would buy this again. A great sipper and a staple to the collection.
