Michel Couvreur Vin Jaune is a whisky finished in Vin Jaune casks from the Jura region, delivering a distinctive oxidative profile with vine-country character. It presents a dry, nutty core—almond, marzipan, and citrus peel—balanced by subtle spice and oak. A refined, slow-sipper with a long, mineral finish that pairs well with aged cheeses and dried fruit.
