The latest batch of the Michel Couvreur Fleeting. We are up to R now!
As much as a Rum cask could've been fun for this particular letter, we are instead treated to a double cask maturation of Oloroso and Pinot Noir from the Chandon de Brialles house in Savigny Les Beaune, for 5 and 6 years respectively. And what a Pinot cask this one is, bright, detailed red fruit notes, without becoming at all too tannic, alongside a delicate, mild peat. Burgundy & Scotland have never paired so well.
Natural Cask Strength at 49%, 1900 Bottles.
Michel Couvreur whiskies are, in fact, Scotch whiskies which are shipped to France as new make and matured in caves in the Burgundy region. It's the maturation climate and discipline in the choice of casks that make these expressions remarkably unique. The Scottish distilleries behind the spirit are kept a secret, but we know that over the years they have sourced new make spirit from each of Scotland's whisky producing regions
