Description
Michel Couvreur's Special Vatting is a peated blended malt of Scottish origin, matured in Burgundy's cellars in sherry oak rather than the conventional bourbon casks. The peat character delivers smoke and earth, while the extended sherry cask ageing contributes dried fruit, spice, and a rich, dark complexity that elevates rather than contradicts the smoky notes. The balance between peat and sherry influence is the hallmark here—neither dominates, creating a sophisticated and layered experience. A compelling choice for those seeking peat balanced by the savoury richness of fortified cask maturation.
