- Description
- Michel Couvreur's Fleeting expression was distilled in Scotland in 2012 and matured in France across sherry and fortified Pinot Noir casks, creating a unique Franco-Scottish character. The dual cask influence brings dried fruit complexity and spiced richness, with the fortified wine adding layers of oxidative warmth and subtle sweetness. The texture is silky and evolving, with a lingering finish that bridges sherry's depth with whisky's spirit-forward clarity. Ideal for those exploring unconventional maturation or seeking a bridge between Burgundy and Speyside.
