Michel Couvreur Intravaganza New Version Single Malt Whisky 70 cl 50%

Intravaganza is the name of a whisky that doesn't hold back - bottled at its full, natural strength.

Expert's description

Michel Couvreur Intravaganza New Version is a Single Malt Whisky matured in fresh casks and bottled at 50 percent.

The whisky has around 3 years of cask maturation and is bottled at its natural strength without chill filtration or added colour, following the house's fresh filling method. This release comes with a new bottle design, while the silky, powerful character is retained from the original release.

Intravaganza is one of the more playful names in Michel Couvreur's range, and the whisky behind it lives up to it: bottled at natural strength, without filtration or added colour, after roughly three years of cask maturation in Burgundy.
