The Overaged is a medium peaty blended malt aged in Oloroso sherry casks. We do not know the different distilleries involved, as always with Les Couvreurs, but some of the whiskeys involved in its blending are over 20 years old, hence the “Overaged”. All the whiskeys present in the blend have aged in Pedro Ximenez barrels.
The nose starts with toasted wood, which brings its share of spices with cumin. A beautiful floral note then arrives accompanied by peat. The latter drags in its wake a note of tobacco which occurs just after the raisins bring a little fruitiness.
On the palate, we find the very oily and syrupy texture usual for Couvreurs. We find the wood and its spices entry. It is more fruity than the nose with still raisins but also plums and a discreet hint of oranges. The peat smoke is then recalled to our fond memories with a touch of honey.
The finish is long, on peat, pepper and cocoa.
