The whisky is then exchanged to substantial oak vessels called "tuns" for 3-4 months to enable the whiskies from singular containers to "wed".

The Balvenie DoubleWood single malt whisky picks up its particular character from being developed in two diverse wood composes. Each stage loans distinctive characteristics to the subsequent single malt whisky.
