Michel Couvreur Very Sherried 25 Years Single Malt Whisky 500mL 48% 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 Beaune
Remarkable deep sienna brown with gold ochre edges and some sediment evident. Fabulous bouquet - excites with heady scents of toasted almonds, super-aged tawny/Amontillado Sherry, cigar box, new leather, rancio and is almost like top notch Armagnac after extra exposure. Delicate entry is bittersweet and marzipan-like at mid palate with faint sulphur undertones (matchbox / pencil rubber). Finish turns sensationally nutty / almond biscotti-like with walnuts, dried fruits, ginger biscuit and mildly bitter chocolate in the aftertaste. Concludes woody, gently spicy, fragile, understated yet long, long, long. An astonishing effort! 48%
