Balvenie 12yo DoubleWood

Sold out when I went because they'd just had a tasting. That did mean I got to have a taste from the open bottle though. It was nice, light, and very forthright. It wasn't quite as complex as I'd expected for something called "double wood", but it definitely has a nice balance. I think I'll buy a bottle unless I can find and taste the 21yo portwood around town.

Thanks for the recommendation. Even my girlfriend said that she'd never understood the appeal of scotch before tasting this one.
