Very Sherried 25 Ans
One of Michel Couvreur's finest rarities! Distilled in 1993 and aged for 25 years in Andalusian Xeres casks!
THE VERY RARE MALTS
Aged for more than 25 years in Andalusian casks. Dark amber colour with ruby highlights. Intense and silky body. Sensual and bewitching perfume of tropical style. Vanilla, almond and sherry. Unfathomable concentration. Endless length. To be savoured out of the noise!
VERY SHERRIED SINGLE MALT WHISKY is a SINGLE MALT WHISKY, reserved in 4.54 litre gallon bottles after an ageing of more than 25 years in Jerez casks. Bottled at its natural alcohol content of 48%. Dark ruby colour. Concentrated Sherry Wine aroma, sensual sweetness, tropical flowers, fat almond, vanilla. The whisky sublimated by the sherry wine. On the palate it is powerful, very silky, very rich with an infinite length. One centilitre per balloon glass provokes a quarter of an hour of ecstasy. To be enjoyed at room temperature and away from the noise. Same type of maturation as the Blossoming but longer, its colour is slightly more baked, showing more coppery reflections (less purple). Less lively and less spicy on the palate than Blossoming, it expresses itself with wisdom, roundness and suppleness (more caressing). Its length in the mouth is exceptional, carried by a woody, toasted note.

The Estate Michel Couvreur
After a brilliant career as a wine merchant, Michel Couvreur, who sadly passed away in August 2013, had a deep desire to create his own masterpiece. This Flemish-born man discovered whisky thanks to a senior member of the Navy who passed on his passion. A true enthusiast by nature and in perpetual quest for excellence and perfection, he began in the 1970s to dig his own cellars in Bouze-Les-Beaune in Burgundy, where he would age his precious nectars.
Michel Couvreur 's whisky was born from a personal philosophy.
According to him, "90% of the quality of a whisky comes from the cask used" while at the same time, the fashion, at the time, pushes certain brands of whisky in search of volume to use American woods not always of the noblest origin...
He therefore tried to push the quality approach by selecting traditional Andalusian Pedro Ximenez or Oloroso casks (notably from the famous Jerez producer Emilio Lustau) which blend in wonderfully with the taste of the barley and where the Clearach and New Spirit would wait a long time to give birth to the famous Michel Couvreur whisky. Demanding by nature, he does not neglect the rest, importing his water from Loch Katrine in Scotland to Burgundy. He has even grown a variety of barley in the Orkney Islands in Scotland called Bere Barley, the oldest of the Scottish varieties and recognised for its great aromatic qualities for malt production, especially when distilled with the talent of a master...
Considered by whisky lovers as one of the best single malt whisky, Michel Couvreur's whisky is endowed with a rare complexity, a length and an impressive voluptuousness. Several vintages, each with its own personality, are to be discovered for those who do not know them yet, for an exceptional tasting. Please appreciate and taste these wines in moderation.
