Michel Couvreur Single Cask 2008 16 Years Old Colheita Port Pipe (50cl, 50.3%)

This is a 16-year-old single cask single malt from Michel Couvreur, distilled in 2008 and bottled at 50.25% in a 50cl bottle. Scottish distillate was matured in the cellars of Burgundy. Its last eight years were spent in a Colheita Port pipe from the Niepoort port house, which gives the whisky a deep mahogany colour. The nose is led by dried fruit such as raisins and dates, with roasted figs, fine cocoa and notes of wood. On the palate it opens silky, with malty sweetness and port character.
