Tasting Notes
Michel Couvreur Overaged Malt Whisky is a distinctive spirit that begins its journey in Scotland and is aged to perfection in sherry-seasoned oak casks in Burgundy, France. This process imparts a rich and complex character, with aromas of dried flowers, almonds, and subtle smoky undertones. - Pete L
We offer a wide range of whiskies: young spirits such as the Clearach; blended and 12-year-old single malts like our classic flagship the Overaged; and some very rare single casks like the iconic Very Sherried, matured for over 25 years.
We are constantly looking for new casks (for example, we've recently started working with Jura Vin Jaune casks). We blend carefully, choose unusual materials such as amphora, exploit wine lees to the best possible effect, We track each cask individually, and handle them slowly and precisely using gravity only, This allows us to offer an exceptional diversity of products all the while maintaining a distinctive aromatic identity, based on balance.Each bottle needs particular care; they are hand-corked, hand-waxed and hand-labelled.
Michel Couvreur passed away in 2013; his son-in-law Cyril Deschamps and his cellar master Jean-Arnaud Frantzen, with the invaluable help of Michel's devoted wife Marthe and his daughter Alexandra, follow to the letter the philosophy and the motto of the house: Virtute et Opera.
