Michel Couvreur Upper Cap 15 Year Old Vintage 2007 & 2010 Sherry Casks Unusual Blended Whisky Magnum (1.5L, 47%)

This is a 15 year old blended whisky from Michel Couvreur, bottled in a 1.5 litre magnum at 47% ABV. It combines a larger share of grain whisky from 2007 with a smaller share of lightly peated malt from 2010. Both are Scottish distillates, matured in sherry casks in the rock cellars of Bouze-lès-Beaune in Burgundy. Many of the casks come from the Pedro Ximénez tradition, with fresh sherry casks added alongside them. The malt brings structure, spice and a gentle smoke, while the grain gives a soft base. Only 24 magnums of this edition exist.
