What makes whisky so fascinating?

Whisky is a noble spirit shaped by patience, grain, water, fermentation, distillation and aging. Born in Scotland and Ireland, it has evolved globally into a complex and diverse world. From single malts to bourbons, from peated to floral expressions, every whisky reflects its terroir, climate, production method and the philosophy of its distillery. Barrel aging, local ingredients and traditional or modern techniques create endless variations. Whisky is a drink for the senses, often enjoyed in moments of reflection or shared in good company.

Michel Couvreur – Scottish whisky refined in Burgundy

Based in Bouze-lès-Beaune, Michel Couvreur selects Scottish distillates and matures them in rare sherry casks deep in Burgundy cellars. The unique conditions give his whiskies depth, texture and a near-winelike elegance. Bottlings like “Candid” or “Blossoming Auld Sherried” are beloved for their character, intensity and poetic flair—a bridge between Scotland and France. These are contemplative, one-of-a-kind whiskies for discerning palates.

Nc’Nean – Scotland’s eco-conscious new wave

Nc’Nean is an innovative distillery in the Scottish Highlands focused on sustainability. It produces organic, unpeated single malts, aged in wine and bourbon casks, with a light, floral and smooth profile. As the UK’s first carbon-neutral whisky distillery, Nc’Nean represents a forward-thinking, environmentally responsible future for whisky. Its style appeals to modern drinkers seeking authenticity and clarity.

Sequoia – French whisky from the mountains

From the Vercors mountains in France, Sequoia crafts organic single malts distilled at low temperatures to preserve their subtle aromas. Their “Single Malt Bio” is fresh, light and pure, offering floral and herbal notes with soft grain texture. It’s a French whisky that reflects its natural surroundings, modern in style, and eco-conscious by nature—ideal for casual sipping or curious exploration.

Macallan – Speyside's symbol of prestige

Macallan stands among Scotland’s finest distilleries. Known for its rich, sherry-aged single malts, it offers benchmark quality and elegance. Iconic bottlings like “Sherry Oak 25 Years” or “Sir Peter Blake” are collector favorites—combining depth, richness and rarity. At Grands Bourgognes, we feature some of Macallan’s most exclusive editions for those who seek excellence.

Suntory – Japanese precision and harmony

Suntory is synonymous with the art of Japanese whisky. From distilleries like Hakushu and Yamazaki come refined, complex single malts. “Hakushu 18 Years” is a standout, with minty freshness, light smoke and ripe fruit. It reflects the Japanese philosophy of balance, elegance and attention to detail. We are proud to showcase Suntory’s remarkable expressions at Grands Bourgognes.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which distilleries allow you to explore this whisky selection?

The selection brings together four distilleries: Michel Couvreur with nine references, Macallan with six, Nc’Nean with two, and Sequoia with one. Michel Couvreur and Macallan therefore offer the widest choice for exploring several references from the same distillery.

Which single malts should you choose for a first comparison between distilleries?

Michel Couvreur’s Whisky Pale Single Single Malt and Nc’Nean’s Whisky Single Malt Scotch Organic allow for a like-for-like comparison, in 70 cl bottles. Sequoia’s Whisky Single Malt Bio offers a third option, this time in a 50 cl format. The information provided does not make it possible to identify which is the smoothest or least peated.

Which Michel Couvreur whisky should you choose to explore maturation in Vin Jaune casks?

Whisky Maturation Vin Jaune 9 ans is the reference that explicitly mentions this maturation. It is presented in a 50 cl format, as is Whisky Fleeting 12 Ans, which offers another point of comparison within the distillery’s range. No detailed tasting notes are provided to explain how they differ.

Which whisky formats should you choose for a tasting with several people?

The category includes 70 cl bottles, 50 cl formats, 150 cl magnums, and a 7 cl miniature. For an occasion bringing together several whisky enthusiasts, Michel Couvreur’s Whisky Malt Overaged NS and Whisky Cap A Pie are among the options available in magnum format. Malt Overaged is also available in a 70 cl bottle, under a name distinct from the NS version.

How can you distinguish age statements from vintages in this Whisky category?

All 18 references are listed as non-vintage, using two equivalent labels: “Non-vintage (NV)” and “Non-vintage.” Some nevertheless include an age statement in their name, such as Maturation Vin Jaune 9 ans, Fleeting 12 Ans, or The Macallan 18 ans Sherry Oak. These age statements do not refer to vintage years.
