Michel Couvreur, Single Malt Fleeting Q Single Cask Whisky

Michel Couvreur's enduring philosophy dictates that a whisky's profound character stems almost entirely from its maturation vessel, leading him to meticulously source exceptional casks. His practice involves transporting unaged single malt distillate from Scotland to his unique, humidity-controlled cellars deep within Burgundy, ensuring optimal aging conditions. This expression undergoes an extended maturation in barrels previously holding Vin Jaune, the distinctive oxidative white wine from the Jura region. Sourced from esteemed producers like Stéphane Tissot, these Savagnin-seasoned casks impart a singular structural reality to the whisky. The result is a spirit of notable textural weight and profound depth, reflecting the deliberate influence of its unique vinous origin.
