Michel Couvreur had a very personal, and truly revolutionary vision of what whisky should be: more than terroir, more than the distiller’s touch, it was the maturing in oak casks that truly helped the grain spirit become whisky. From 1978 on, having settled in the French region of Burgundy, he decided to make it his life’s work and to dedicate his research to a process which he once compared to cross-fertilisation. Sadly, Michel Couvreur passed away in 2013; and today it’s his son-in-law Cyril Deschamps together with his cellar master Jean-Arnaud Frantzen, Michel’s devoted wife Marthe and his daughter Alexandra, that carry on the tradition of his vision by following to the letter the philosophy and the motto of the house: Virtute et Opera - through courage and hard work. Today, they offer a wide range of whiskies: young spirits such as the Clearach; blended and 12-year-old single malts like their classic flagship the Overaged; and some very rare single casks like the iconic Very Sherried, matured for over 25 years. We’re proud to offer you this special rarity release as a perfect example of what makes their whiskies so great. Carefully selecting freshly emptied barrels from Domaine Chandon de Briailles in Savigny les Beaune, which were previously filled with fortified Pinot noir for several years. They filled these barrels with a 5 years old malt whisky, already aged in Oloroso barrels. This second maturation lasted 7 years producing a whisky of great complexity and character. Red fruit aromas concentrated with light smoky flavours.
