Michel Couvreur Special Vatting Peaty Malt French Blended Malt

For those not in the know Michel Couvreur is an independent whisky bottler whose maturation cellars are located in Bouze-lès-Beaune in Burgundy. They specialise in unusual whiskies produced by traditional methods, such as Bere Barley, and a borderline rediculous attention to cask management and maturation conditions. This Special Vatting is a blend of three single malts over 12 years old. Its backbone is made of a very ripe and potent whisky (Oloroso cask), a younger whisky with iodine and peat to provides freshness and a whiskey to bring the balance and consistency and balance to the blend. The result is a depth and spicy richness fresh iodineand sea salt, leather, fine tobacco, dried fruit and oak. A silky palate with a long and powerful finish. Extremely long and complex, and for you smokers robhust enough to make a wonderful companion to a cigar
