A Belgian Royal Stout from Flanders aged for 2yrs in Balvenie whisky barrels
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.

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

0.33 l bottle from 'Ace Drinks', 2018 vintage, bottled in April 2021. Pitch black with a medium large, frothy, almost stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently roasty, minimally fruity aroma of dark chocolate, coffee, hazelnut and fruity whisky. Rather sweet, malty, gently roasty and a little fruity taste of dark chocolate, coffee, licorice, hazelnut, whisky and a touch of vanilla, followed by a short, gently roasty-bitter, slightly earthy and a bit boozy finish. Medium to full body, smooth, slightly creamy and moderately effervescent mouthfeel, soft carbonation. Moreish, saturating RIS, intense but still well-balanced, definitely one of my favourites from the recent Black Damnation releases.
