Michel Couvreur VJ Maturation (Jura Vin Jaune) Single Malt Whisky Edition 2024 9 YO 48% 500ml

Michel Couvreur Vin Jaune 9 Year Old Single Malt – 48% ABV, 500ml

A striking single malt whisky from Michel Couvreur, matured for nine years in Vin Jaune barrels sourced from Jura, France (Stephane Tissot). This whisky has been allowed to develop oxidative character from the wine casks, delivering a profile rich in vinous and nut-driven complexity. Bottled at 48% ABV and non-chill filtered, this 500 ml expression is perfect for adventurous whisky drinkers who appreciate wine-barrel influence and bold flavour.

Tasting Notes:

Nose: Intense vinous aromas with green grapes, apricot, and hazelnuts. Underlying notes of orchard fruit (apple/pear), toasted nuts, and subtle dried fruit.

Palate: A rounded mouthfeel with flavours of roasted nuts (hazelnut / walnuts), stone fruits, butterscotch, and mild oak spice. Hints of dried fruit (raisins), citrus peel, and even a slight green tea edge.

Finish: Long and expressive, lingering with vinous grape, fruit sweetness, nuttiness, and a warm rustic oak finish.
