Michel Couvreur Whiskies

In the 1950’s Michel Couvreur, originally from Belgium, began making wine in Burgundy. As a frequent traveller to Scotland selling wine, he fell in love with the Scottish way of life and its’ incredible whisky.

In 1964, Couvreur left Burgundy and travelled over 930 miles to his new home in Scotland where his attention turned to whisky production – from the selection of the most ancient strains of cereals to sourcing extremely rare sherry oak casks. It became his dream to pursue his passion and make a whisky that was so unique and unlike any other… and that he has certainly done!

In the 70’s Michel returned to France to be nearer the origin of his much-loved sherry casks and began digging his own cellar in the hillside of Bouze-Iès-Beaune in Côte d’Or. Here, about midway between the Andalusian vineyards and the Scottish Highlands, Michel Couvreur matures his whisky that has been distilled in Scotland, in original sherry oak casks to produce an exquisite blend of two cultures that creates one exceptional whisky.

What really makes Michel Couvreur Whisky so unique is the two cellars they have for ageing; one dry cellar and one very damp. The difference in humidity gives you great options when ageing whisky. The dry cellar is used to create a whisky that is spicy and intense with an adv. of up to 60%, whereas the humid cellar has the opposite effect, it lowers the alcohol percentage and allows the whisky to mellow and soften out any harsh corners.

Michel Couvreur produce whiskies which are incredibly flavourful, intense, and soft all at the same time. Each bottle is handcrafted, labelled and sealed with a cork and wax. Opening a bottle of Michel Couvreur for the first time is a memorable experience you’ll never forget…
