Blended Whisky ~ The Unique ~ 44% ~ 700mL
This blended whisky from Michel Couvreur is an exception to his own range because it was matured in very old whisky casks instead of the usual sherry casks. Traditionally called “grain whisky,” this nuanced blend of malted and unmalted Scotch whiskies is bestowed with a delicate character. Soft on the nose with grassy scents and citrus zest. Fruit, nut, and iodine flavors are delicately laced with vanilla sweetness that leads into a long round finish. This whisky is the perfect aperitif. Best served cool.

Winery
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.
Michel Couvreur passed away in 2013; his son-in-law Cyril Deschamps and his cellar master Jean-Arnaud Frantzen, with the invaluable help of Michel’s devoted wife Marthe and his daughter Alexandra, follow to the letter the philosophy and the motto of the house: Virtute et Opera.
