Nose: Dried flowers, flaxen tobacco, sherry wine, fat almond, a little smoked. Palate: Fruity, powerful and long in the mouth.

Michel Couvreur

Scotland to Burgundy, France

Whisky

Michel Couvreur

Originally from Belgium, Michel Couvreur began his career making wine in Burgundy in the 1950s. Frequent trips to Scotland for fishing and business led to a deep appreciation for traditional Scotch whisky production — especially the use of ancient grains and rare sherry casks.

As modern whisky-making began shifting toward industrial methods, Couvreur resisted the change. In the 1970s, he returned to France to be closer to the source of authentic sherry casks and dug a unique cellar in Bouze-lès-Beaune, Burgundy — midway between Andalusia and the Scottish Highlands.

There, Scotch whisky matures in rare Pedro Ximénez and Palomino sherry casks, stored in a 500-foot underground tunnel naturally humidified by springs. This environment accelerates aging and allows vibrant floral and fruity aromas to develop.

A hidden room called “The Paradise” houses rare, sealed demijohns — a tribute to Couvreur’s belief in preserving tradition. His whiskies remain a rare example of old-world craftsmanship in a modernising industry.
