A recent post on the r/Costco_alcohol subreddit shared an exciting find at the Huntington Beach, California Costco: Balvenie DoubleWood 12 for just $41.99. Normally, this whisky ranges from $57.99 to $102.99, depending on the region, making this discount a fantastic opportunity to buy a top-tier whisky without breaking the bank.
Balvenie distillery, located in Speyside, is famous for its exceptional Scotch whiskies. Besides the DoubleWood 12, their portfolio boasts the highly acclaimed 15-year single barrel Sherry cask Scotch, one of the best single malt Scotches to try in 2023. Adding the DoubleWood 12 to your collection for 2024 is essential.
Part of Balvenie’s Cask Finishes collection, the DoubleWood 12 debuted in 1983. This release pioneered a new Scotch-aging technique known as wood finishing. First, the whisky ages in traditional whisky oak casks, developing a smooth, vanilla foundation. Then, it transfers to sherry oak casks, where it acquires rich, honeyed, and fruity notes. Finally, the Scotch marries in oak vessels, completing the 12-year maturation process.
This extended aging enhances the Scotch’s quality, resulting in a smooth, easy-drinking whisky perfect for both beginners and connoisseurs. At $41.99, this Costco offering presents an irresistible bargain.
Whether you’re new to Scotch or an experienced aficionado, don’t miss the chance to snag a bottle of The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 at such an exceptional price. This opportunity highlights Costco’s ability to deliver exquisite and affordable choices, solidifying its reputation among whisky lovers.
