For those that have had some of the finer bottlings coming out this cellar in Beaune, you can quickly become fanatical about tracking down any special releases that surface. This single cask expression is a perfect example of why. Distilled in 2002, the spirit was aged 19yrs in a PX Sherry cask, in Couvreur’s humid cellar. Bottled at a natural cask strength of 45.65% abv due to the humid cellar. This is an extremely limited release.
On last tasting we were reminded of notes of honeysuckle, coconut cream pie, spiced vanilla tea, salted cultured butter, nectarines, honeydew and bitter almond.
