Michel Couvreur Description
A blended malt from Michel Couvreur, made from Scottish whisky which is aged in cellars in Burgundy using Sherry oak casks. The Candid expression is buttery and rich, with plenty of Sherry oak influence - think sun dried raisins and hints of almond oil - with touches of peat running though it.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Although the peated whisky was distilled in Scotland, it is not technically Scotch as it was then moved to France's Burgundy region. After eight years in PX Sherry barrels, the smoky impact has dialed down. On the nose, campfire and juicy stone fruit aromas intertwine. The palate is notably soft, mixing smoke with milk chocolate, dried apricot and golden raisin, finishing long and spiced with ginger, cardamom and clove.
