Michel Couvreur : Overaged Malt Whisky

An exceptional Scottish whisky aged in Burgundy cellars

Michel Couvreur, the visionary

Born in Belgium in 1928, Michel Couvreur began his career as a Burgundy wine merchant before becoming an independent whisky bottler. Known for his unique approach to ageing, his singularity lies in the art of ageing Scottish distillates in Sherry and Port casks within his Burgundy cellars, offering ideal conditions for maturation. Recognised for their complexity, these whiskies are produced in limited quantities, highly prized by connoisseurs.

Following his death in 2013, his son-in-law Cyril Deschamps and cellar master Jean-Arnaud Frantzen, supported by Marthe, Michel's wife, and their daughter Alexandra, continue the philosophy of excellence and the pioneering vision of this illustrious House.

The expression of a great blended malt whisky

The Overaged Malt Whisky from Michel Couvreur is a blended malt whisky peated and made from the blend of a selection of 12 and 20 year old whiskies, aged in Pedro Ximenez sherry casks within Burgundy cellars.
