Michel Couvreur Overaged Malt Whisky (70cl, 43%)

Overaged is a malt whisky from Michel Couvreur, bottled at 43% in a 70cl bottle. It is a vatting of Scottish whiskies matured in sherry oak casks in the rock cellars of Bouze-lès-Beaune in Burgundy. Because the maturation takes place outside Scotland, it cannot be called Scotch whisky. The youngest component is reportedly at least 12 years old, with older whiskies of up to 27 years in the mix. The nose is described as fine smoke, salty bacon, iodine and green apple.
