Alekse 2003 is a 17 year old single malt from Michel Couvreur, bottled at 45.38% in a 50cl bottle. Only 880 bottles were filled. The spirit was distilled in Scotland on 31 March 2003 and spent all seventeen years in an Amontillado sherry butt, a style of cask drier and nuttier than Pedro Ximenez or Oloroso. It matured in the rock-cut cellars at Bouze-les-Beaune in Burgundy and was bottled there in 2021.
