Michel Couvreur was a visionary ahead of his time. Born in Belgium, he made a name for himself by purchasing Scotch whisky, transporting it to France and aging it in Burgundian caves, in a variety of vessels but mostly ex-sherry barrels. Candid is a peated, iodine-heavy blended malt whisky aged in ex-PX sherry barrels, which help to impart notes of sundried raisin, fig, spices and toffee, the sweet flavors sitting nicely overtop the smoky and savory notes of peat.

More about Michel Couvreur

Michel Couvreur, a Belgian, pioneered French whisky in Burgundy—a decision his wife opposed until they settled on it. He buys single malts in bulk, matures them in 100-year-old sherry and port casks, and bottles the result. Since his death in 2013, his son-in-law carries the torch. This is what happens when ambition refuses borders.
