1892 - William Grant bouwt de Balvenie distilleerderij in het verlaten Balvenie New House. Anno 2018 vergisten we Black Albert tot 15% en voegen die toe aan een stel fantastische whisky & sherry barrels van deze distilleerderij. Om The Balvenie DoubleWood te maken, neemt David Stewart MBE whisky die minstens 12 jaar in traditionele whiskyvaten, Amerikaans eiken ex-bourbonvaten en hogsheads heeft gelegen, en verplaatst deze naar Spaanse eiken ex-Oloroso sherryvaten voor nog eens negen maanden. De Balvenie DoubleWood single malt whisky dankt zijn karakter aan de rijping in twee verschillende houtsoorten. Elke fase verleent verschillende kwaliteiten aan de resulterende single malt whisky. De traditionele vaten verzachten en geven een delicaat karakter, het sherryhout geeft diepte en een volle smaak en de laatste paar maanden in onze vaten zorgen ervoor dat de whisky's harmonieus met elkaar kunnen versmelten.

330 ml bottle. Pours a very dark brown with moderate/light head. Aromas of dark dry fruit, dark sugar, nougat, light dry chocolate, Christmas spice, and soft toasted malts. Flavors of wood, tobacco, sherry, spiced chocolate, dark raisins, figs, and bready malts. Dry slightly vinous finish but not really giving away the 15%. Complex sipper. Excellent.

15/9/2022. Bottle shared by SHIG, cheers. Pours black with a small bubbly beige head. Aroma of treacle, roasted malt, dark chocolate, liquorice, molasses, brown bread. Moderate sweetness, medium bitterness. Full bodied, slick, soft carbonation. Rich, earthy, warming finish. Very nice.

Bottle. Black with a tan head that is soon a spotty coat. 3+ Aroma of bread, cooked autumnal fruit, licorice, roast, seaweed, chicory, marzipan. No overt alcohol. Silky, low carbonation. Bittersweet with dark sugars, bread, spices. Hel & Verdoemenis seaweed, roast, chocolate. That edible foil thing that some de Struise beers have is here again - I like it but don't know what it is. Rich and powerful but the bitterness lifts it away. Very good.

Bottle picked up from Etre Gourmet webshop Grez-Dorcieau Belgium and consumed at home Thursday 21st July 2022 listening to Gideon Coe on 6 Music we had Schnitzel and Potato Cubes. Pours black with a mid sized beige head, nice bourbon, the bourbon is up front but doesn't dominate. At 15% it's unsurprisingly a little boozy, but soft moutheel, vanilla, roasty and with a pleasant sweetness that holds back any bitterness or heavy roast. Very good.

A black beer, a head is small and brown. Aroma has salt liquorice, some dried fruits and barrel, strenghtness. Taste has salt liquorice, dry barrel, some dried fruitness. Full bodied, but not much of stickyness. Maybe too simple, but the strenghtness is facinating.

33cl bottle. Black color, with a little layer of beige foam, disappearing. Aroma of whisky, oak, brown sugar, spices, roast. Taste is whiskeish/liquor, chocolate, spices, sweetish. Alcohol warmth is definitely there, oily texture, thin low carbonation. Extremely easy to drink given the 15%. Another amazing and yet different interpretation of the Black Damnation series.

Whisky BA beers are not my favorite but this one is delicious. Loads of spice. Indeed, the lingering presence is all barrel.
