Tasting Notes
This Candid Malt Whisky by Michel Couvreur is a delightful blend of Scottish and French traditions. Aged in Sherry oak casks in the cellars of Burgundy, it boasts a luscious aroma reminiscent of freshly baked fruit cakes, earthy petrichor, and a generous sprinkle of nutmeg. On the palate, it strikes a harmonious balance – the sweetness of Sherry notes envelops the taste buds like a velvety embrace, while the robust earthiness of peat keeps it grounded, preventing it from becoming overly indulgent. Lurking beneath the surface are subtle hints of black licorice, adding a touch of intrigue. The finish leaves a lingering mineral-y smoke and juicy sultana flavors, beckoning for another sip. This whisky is a true embodiment of buttery richness, showcasing the influence of Sherry oak through notes of sun-dried raisins and almond oil, with subtle peaty undertones woven throughout.
