Michel Couvreur Blossoming Auld Sherried Single Malt Whisky 70cl
Michel Couvreur Blossoming Auld Sherried Single Malt Whisky
A single malt from Michel Couvreur, whose whiskies are sent over from Scotland to be matured in cellars in Burgundy using Sherry oak casks. Couvreur was a big believer in oak playing the biggest part in a whisky's flavour, favouring Sherry oak casks. This expression is well-Sherried indeed, with a lively floral character deeper within - perhaps this is where the "Blossoming" in its name comes from.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
Opens with the aroma of maple syrup pancakes, giving way to rich black cherries, cloves, bread-and-butter pudding and treacle. Apple blossom and roast pork hints sneak in, too.
Palate
A warm, velvety and opulent mouthfeel with notes of Christmas cake, raisin, cinnamon stick and dried orange peel.
Finish
Long, rich and intense - the Christmas cake continues, with vanilla custard bringing a lighter sweetness in at the very end.
Overall
A triumphant Sherry bomb single malt.
