The selection of Michel Couvreur whiskies are made from Scotch whiskies that have been matured in cellars in Burgundy in Sherry oak casks - Couvreur was a fan of maturing whisky in Sherry casks rather than bourbon casks. This expression, a "special vatting", is a particularly peaty whisky, but it's certainly no slouch of the Sherried whisky side of things either. Always a pleasure to see a great balance of the two.
Superb dram.... nice smoked bacon, sweetness, lovely oily texture
This is a big big luscious whisky. Rich sherried, fruit cake, peaty, heavy and oily. The finish lasted about half and hour or more. I predict these whiskies will start getting snapped up quickly.
