Release Notes
Michel Couvreur is a Belgian and an independent bottler of single malt scotch. His cellars are located in Bouze-les-Beaune in the heart of Burgundy. Michel ages his single malts for years in sherry butts and then in demijohns or giant bottles kept in total darkness in the exceptional well-protected underground galleries of Bouze-les-Beaune. The Pale-Single is a lighter style of whisky, not nearly as heavily sherried as his other expressions, that is quite fruity and floral in flavor, but with a lingering note of toasted almonds and savory richness.

Located halfway between Scotland and Spain in a small village in Burgundy, France, Michel Couvreur has new make Scotch single malts distilled to his specifications which he then ages in high quality casks he sources from various small bodegas in Spain.
He's a rare and strange phenomenon in the world of whisky but his product is generally regarded as some of the best whisky out there even though he has caused controversy stating that the cask aging represents 90% of the final flavor of a whisky and that the distillery of origine is near irrelevant.
