Michel Couvreur Overaged Single Malt French Whisky

Michel Couvreur, originally from Belgium, settled in Burgundy (Bouze‑lès‑Beaune) from 1978 to pioneer what became known as “whisky made in France”. He sourced malt‑whisky distillate from Scotland, then matured it in humid, wine‑cellar‑like caves in Burgundy, using sherry‑ and wine‑seasoned oak barrels. His belief: the key to great whisky lies more in the barrel and maturation than just the distillate.
