Whiskey Michel Couvreur OVERAGED MALT WHISKEY (70CL, 43.0% Vol.)

Whiskey Michel Couvreur OVERAGED MALT WHISKEY (70CL, 43.0% Vol.)
Variety Overaged Malt Whiskey consists of a blend of different single malt whiskeys - obtained from malted barley - aged for 12 to 15 years.
Production Once the assembly is complete, the whiskey ages in oak barrels which previously contained Sherry, so as to develop a good consistency and sweetness. The alcohol content is then reduced by adding Scottish water until it reaches 43% vol.
Characteristics The younger single malts give the blend a lively and peaty character, while the more mature ones give roundness and complexity. With an amber color, it is characterized on the nose by hints of dried flowers, tobacco and almonds, while on the palate the taste is fruity, powerful and long.
Boxed, 700 ml. 

The Michel Couvreur company is based in Bouze-Lès-Beaune, France, and was created by the eponymous Burgundy wine shop of Belgian origin. Michel Couvreur, who fell in love with the world of whiskey in the 1970s, decided to create his own company to refine and bottle whiskeys of the highest Scottish tradition. Today the company is managed by his son-in-law Cyril Deschamps and his wife Alexandra, daughter of Michel Couvreur, assisted by the cellar master Jean-Arnaud Frantzen. Michel Couvreur continues to purchase whiskeys from small Scottish artisanal distilleries and then refine them in barrels that have previously aged Sherry, as per Scottish tradition, and Port. The refinement process takes place in the cellars owned by Michel Couvreur, which extend over 150 metres, located in Bouze-lès Beaune, in Burgundy, halfway between Andalusia (where Sherry is produced) and Scotland (where whiskey is made). The selection of barrels is fundamental for Michel Couvreur: so much so that today, in addition to the barrels that have aged Sherry and Port, those that have contained Jura Vin Jaune have also been added. This decision allows us to offer an exceptional diversity of Whiskeys capable of maintaining the aromatic peculiarities that identify them and make them unique, always according to Michel Couvreur's motto: Virtute et Opera.
