This is Couvreur with a bit more weight.

“Cap a Pie” builds on The Unique, but with a higher proportion of malt whisky in the blend, giving it more structure, more flavour, and a slightly richer profile without losing that signature Couvreur elegance.

Still matured in those humid Burgundy cellars, still driven by cask over distillation, just pushed a little further.

On the nose, it opens fresh but layered. Almond, vanilla and light floral notes lead, backed by white fruit and a gentle, slightly saline edge that gives it lift.

The palate brings more roundness. Soft grain sweetness rolls into pear, vanilla and light dried fruit, with a subtle sherry influence adding depth without taking over. It’s lively, slightly nervy, but still very drinkable.

There’s a nice balance here, the malt gives it body, the grain keeps it easy, and the cask ties it together.

The finish is clean with a touch more complexity than the entry level expressions. Light spice, soft oak and a lingering sweetness carry through, leaving a fresh, moreish edge.

This isn’t a big whisky.

But it’s not trying to be.

It’s about balance, texture and drinkability, with just enough depth to keep things interesting.

A great step up from The Unique. Still easy, just with a bit more going on.
