The Balvenie 12 Years Single Malt Double Wood with Tea Cup

百富12年雙桶單一麥芽，以禮盒附贈茶杯的親切包裝登場。酒液先在美國波本桶熟成，再轉入歐洲雪莉桶收尾，帶來香草蜂蜜、太妃糖和乾果的暖甜氣息，橡木香與溫和香料在口中交織。入口質地圓潤、奶油感明顯，伴隨堅果香與微微柑橘皮的清爽，尾韻溫暖且回甘。酒廠自豪於傳統工藝：自家麥芽房、桶匠與銅器維修，從原料到桶藏每一步都注重手工與細節，這使得酒體層次分明但友善易飲。想讓香氣更開放可在杯中靜置約10–20分鐘，禮盒與茶杯也十分適合送禮或慢慢品味。

A polished, approachable single malt presented in a gift set with a tea cup. The Balvenie 12 DoubleWood shows two-stage maturation: initial aging in American oak bourbon casks followed by a period of finishing in European oak sherry casks. Aromas open with honeyed vanilla, warm toffee and a hint of dried fruit, followed by gentle oak spice and citrus peel. On the palate it is smooth and rounded — creamy malt, soft caramel and nutty undertones with a balanced oak-driven spice. The finish is lingering, warm and gently drying. Producer notes highlight The Balvenie’s traditional on-site practices: maltings, a working cooperage and coppersmithing, plus careful cask selection that give the whisky its layered oak and honeyed character. Serve neat, or give it 10–20 minutes in the glass to unfurl; the included tea cup makes for a charming presentation in its gift format.
