Description

Fleeting is a rare wine-cask finish from Michel Couvreur, born from their tradition of “wine casks exchange.” In 2018, freshly emptied fortified Pinot Noir barrels from Domaine Chandon de Briailles (Savigny-les-Beaune) were refilled with 5-year-old malt whisky that had already been aged in Oloroso barrels. After six more years of careful maturation in humid cellars, this 12-year-old release was bottled in February 2024 at natural strength (49% ABV).

Nose
Candied fruits and “red fruits coulis” dominate, with strong Pinot Noir wine cask influence offering ripe berries and jammy sweetness.
Palate
Soft, delicate, and spicy—the smoke from the base malt and wood adds a balancing touch beneath the sweetness.
Finish
Long, smoky, and concentrated, with lingering red fruit and spice interplay.
