Michel Couvreur Candid Malt Whisky

Michel Couvreur: Candid Malt Whisky

A distinctive single malt whisky crafted in Burgundy by the late Michel Couvreur, Candid Malt showcases the art of marrying Scottish spirit with French cellar aging. Matured in ex-Pedro Ximénez sherry casks, this robust expression pays tribute to Couvreur’s dedication to traditional methods and bold, expressive flavor. Bottled unchillfiltered, Candid captures the raw elegance of its sherry-soaked lineage with smoky depth and earthy nuance.

Palate: Rich and textured, offering layers of honeyed malt, earthy peat, and dried figs balanced by warming spice, cocoa, and a light minerality.

Finish: Medium to long, with lingering notes of dried fruit, sherry sweetness, oak tannins, and a gentle, smoky warmth.
