Michel Couvreur Clearach Single Malt Whisky 700mL
Michel Couvreur Candid Single Malt Whisky is a single malt distilled in Scotland and matured between 2 and 3 years in wine fresh sherry casks. It has been reduced to 43% alcohol by volume in the bottle. Very clear amber tint.
Typical to very young malts with almonds and frangipane (red jasmine) fragrance, nice grassy freshness with a slight touch of honey. Lively in the mouth, its maturation in wine casks, despite its young age, is revealing some silky elegance. Possessing young spirit’s intense and lively characteristics, it displays the flavours of first vinous impregnations.
To be consumed as an aperitif or as a “Norman Hole” (the traditional Norman intermezzo made of one single shot of strong Calvados between two heavy courses)

Michel Couvreur Clearach Single Malt Whisky 700mL 43% ABV
Michel Couvreur settled in Bouze-les-Beaune (close to the Burgundian town of Beaune, France), where he opened a customs bonded cellar and began selecting his own sherry casks (Pedro Ximenez and Palomino) from the Andalusia region of Spain. Some readers will be aware, since the 1970's, sherry ceased to be shipped to UK in wood. Whisky producers have now to go and select their casks at sherry bodegas, paying a premium on top of transport costs. It's partly for this reason that Michel Couvreur's cellar is located in Burgundy, half-way between Scotland and Andalusia, with straight motorways from Jerez de la Frontera to BeaunePrice / Unit | Bottle |
