Description
Experience the exquisite elegance of Michel Couvreur Candid Disclosure Expression Malt Whisky, a distinguished selection from the heart of France. This French whisky is meticulously crafted to unveil a symphony of flavors that will captivate the most discerning palates.
In the glass, this remarkable whisky showcases a deep, mahogany hue, reminiscent of a twilight sky, enticing you to explore its complex aroma. The initial nose envelops you in notes of sherry sweetness, decadent toffee, and rich fudge, harmonizing effortlessly with whispers of gentle peat smoke and subtle hints of smoked ham, complemented by delicate herbal undertones.
As you take your first sip, let the palate transport you to a realm of indulgence. The mouthfeel is rich and textured, elegantly delivering layers of honeyed malt, earthy peat, and the sweetness of dried figs, all woven together with a medley of warming spices. The finish is nothing short of captivating, as sweet sherry, luscious caramel, and vibrant orange notes linger gracefully, balanced by the warmth of nutmeg and a satisfying smokiness.
The Michel Couvreur Candid Disclosure Expression Malt Whisky embodies a youthful spirit, with a golden-honey glow that tantalizes with a dance of green almonds and creamy frangipane, brushed with the sweetness of pear nectar and a gentle kiss of floral smoke. Each sip reveals fleeting moments of honeyed wood and lively fruit, evolving into a gentle, smoky echo that invites you to savor its depth.
For the best enjoyment, we recommend serving this exquisite whisky at a temperature of 65-70 °F. It also works brilliantly as a base for exquisite cocktails, particularly the delightful Candid Lemon cocktail. To maintain its quality, adhere to the following storage guidelines:
- Temperature: Store at a consistent room temperature between 15°C and 20°C, preferably 15–18°C.
- Light Exposure: Keep bottles away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light.
- Sealing: Ensure bottles are tightly sealed post-opening to minimize oxidation.
- Humidity: Maintain a dry, cool environment to avoid cork damage.
- Bottle Position: Store upright to prevent cork deterioration.

Storage advice
For optimal storage of Blended Malt Whisky follow these practical recommendations regarding temperature light exposure sealing bottle position humidity and special considerations for both unopened and opened bottles:
- Temperature: Store whisky at a consistent room temperature between 15°C and 20°C (preferably 15–18°C). Avoid storing it in the fridge or freezer since cold temperatures can dull flavors cause cloudiness that only clears at room temperature and may affect the cork seal due to expansion of the liquid when heated.
- Light Exposure: Keep whisky bottles away from direct sunlight and strong artificial light. UV rays can degrade whisky compounds and alter flavor over time in addition to fading the label.
- Sealing: Always ensure bottles are tightly sealed after opening to minimize oxidation. For opened bottles with low levels remaining (less than one-third full) consider transferring whisky to a smaller bottle to reduce air exposure thus slowing flavor deterioration and evaporation.
- Bottle Position: Store whisky bottles upright. Unlike wine whisky should never be stored on its side because prolonged contact between the cork and the spirit can cause cork deterioration and potential off-flavors.
- Humidity: Maintain a dry cool environment with moderate humidity to avoid cork damage and prevent label deterioration. Excessive humidity or heat can cause the liquid to expand compromising the cork seal.
Additional Tips Specific to Blended Malt Whisky:
- Avoid temperature fluctuations as repeated expansions and contractions of the liquid inside the bottle may weaken the seal and accelerate oxidation.
- Decanters are acceptable for aesthetic serving but generally do not provide better storage than original bottles due to less airtight seals; thus they are not recommended purely for long-term storage.
By adhering to these guidelines the quality and shelf life of both unopened and opened bottles of Blended Malt Whisky can be effectively preserved.
