Michel Couvreur Alekse 2003 Single Malt Whisky 500ml (ABV 45%) sc_jun26Single Malt Whisky distilled 31st March 2003, aged more than 17 years in an Amontillado butt. A tight whisky. Amber robe, intense dried flowers flavours, tobacco, a slight bitterness. Strong, intense and delicate toasted characters,

lingering with creamy toffee

so that the liquid is balanced

A second cask ageing is at the heart of The Balvenie Portwood and produces a single malt of refinement and remarkable complexity

Nose - Complex with notes of spice

with a lingering spiciness

beginning with macaroon

in fact it’s an explosion of sweetness

then finished in the finest hand-picked Spanish Sherry casks

Inclusion descriptions below are the most accurate)

A sublime and superior blend

tangy fresh-squeezed citrus taste with hints of lime zest

mellow sweetness that’s relaxed enough to sip alone but bold enough to hold its own in a cocktail
