Distillation & Provenance

Crafted only for our premium spirits

Distillation

Michel Couvreur Whisky 2008 is a vintage single cask bottling from the Couvreur cellars in Bouze-lès-Beaune, Burgundy — sourced as Scottish new-make malt spirit in 2008 and matured in a single sherry-seasoned cask in the rock-carved Burgundian cellar. The distillate from 2008 has undergone individual cask maturation under the constant temperature and humidity of the Burgundy cellar, developing without dilution the rich sherry influence and concentration that characterise long-aged Couvreur casks. Single cask releases reflect the individual character of one barrel rather than a house blend. Bottled at natural cask strength of 50.25% ABV in a 500mL format, without chill-filtration or colour addition.

Provenance

Michel Couvreur was a Belgian entrepreneur and whisky enthusiast who established a whisky maturation operation in Bouze-lès-Beaune in Burgundy, France, after sourcing new-make spirit from Scotland and recognising that the deep cellars of Burgundy offered unique conditions for whisky ageing. Working with traditional Burgundian stone vaulted cellars and an extensive collection of unusual casks — including rare sherry butts and wine barrels — Michel Couvreur developed a house style of highly aromatic, sherry-forward whisky unlike anything produced within the Scottish tradition. The brand continues under the stewardship of his protégés and produces a range of blended malts and single malts from Burgundy.
