Michel Couvreur, Blossoming Auld Sherried Single Malt Whisky

Michel Couvreur’s Blossoming Auld Sherried Single Malt Whisky captures the house’s unmistakable Franco-Scottish character, bringing Scottish malt into the cool Burgundy cellars where Couvreur made his name. Its richness comes from maturation in exceptional sherry casks, sourced from genuine soleras that have held wine for upwards of 50 years, giving the whisky a depth and authenticity that newer seasoned casks rarely match. As the name suggests, there’s an open, fragrant quality to the style, balancing maturity with lift rather than leaning only into weight. Expect dried apricot, sultana and orange peel alongside roasted nuts, honey, polished oak and warm spice, with a rounded palate that feels both mellow and expressive. The sherry influence is clear, but beautifully integrated, adding richness without overwhelming the malt. Elegant, warming and quietly distinctive, it’s a whisky to sip slowly and let unfold in the glass.
