Michel Couvreur
View Full Description [+ Read More]
Michel Couvreur is an unconventional whisky producer based in Bouze-lès-Beaune, Burgundy, France, sourcing single malt spirit from Scotland and maturing it in a network of cellars using wine and sherry casks drawn from across Europe. The house was founded by Belgian wine merchant Michel Couvreur, whose background in Jerez sherry procurement shaped the program's emphasis on oxidative, cask-driven aging. Sherried maturation defines expressions like the Blossoming Auld Sherried Single Malt and the Very Sherried Over 27 Years, while the Pale Single Single Whisky showcases a lighter, less interventionist style. The Spirale 18 Year Old Jura Cask is a limited bottling of 450 units finished in casks from the French island of Jura. Candid Malt and Special Vatting represent more accessible entry points, with the extended-aged Very Sherried 27 Years sitting at the top of the range.
