Michel Couvreur 1974 The Four Single-Single / Single Malt
Michel Couvreur 1974 The Four Single-Single / Single Malt
A selection of wax-sealed, rustic-looking bottles with charmingly handwritten labels belies the intriguing history and distinctly eclectic flavors; secrets of the amber liquids within. With a single sip of any of these whiskies, one can experience anything from young, smooth, and subtle notes of the Scottish highlands to bolder, older spirits. The Couvreur line has different – sometimes unusual, yet always consummate – strokes for the sophisticated folk.
The toasting of the casks provides the liquor with various aromatic notes like caramel and vanilla, while the charring of casks produces charcoal to mellow the sharpness of the distilled liquor. The sherry formerly held in these containers can impart nutty and fruity flavors, as well as lightness, crispness, and sweetness. The additive, subtractive, interactive, and oxidizing effects of barrel aging on the whisky make the Couvreur cellars more finishing house than a distillery; refinery than a whisky mill. It is a gallery that weaves together the crafting of wine (where terroir is king) and whisky (where craftsmanship rules) evident in the philosophies and practices of winemaker-turned-whisky revolutionary Michel Couvreur.
