Michel Couvreur Overaged Malt Whisky
Wine enthusiast rating - 91
Michel Couvreur Overaged Malt Whisky is a truly distinctive dram, marrying the best of Scottish distillation with French maturation craftsmanship. Distilled in Scotland from a blend of carefully selected single malts aged between 12 and 27 years, this whisky is matured in the heart of Burgundy in rare Sherry casks deep inside Couvreur’s hand-dug cellar.
Bottled at 43% ABV, Overaged Malt opens with a deeply aromatic nose – layers of dried fruits, walnut, polished oak, and subtle florals. On the palate, it’s complex and refined, offering notes of stewed figs, soft leather, dark chocolate, tobacco, and a rich Sherry sweetness that lingers beautifully. The texture is elegant and velvety, showing both power and grace.
Michel Couvreur’s approach is old-world and uncompromising, with a firm belief in the impact of cask selection and cellar ageing. Overaged Malt is a testament to his philosophy – blending exceptional malt whiskies and elevating them through time and terroir.
Ideal for seasoned whisky drinkers and collectors seeking something off the beaten path, this is not your typical Scotch – it’s a Franco-Scottish masterpiece.
