This single cask bottling of a Scottish single malt whisky called Alekse 2008 was produced by Michel Couvreur in France. The whisky was distilled in Scotland in 2008, imported to France and finished in ex-Oloroso sherry butts stored in caves in Burgundy. It was bottled at cask strength in 2023 with 702 individually numbered bottles.
Scotland and Scotch whisky is a global trend, a development that has led to a flourishing whisky scene in Scotland. There is hardly a week that goes by in which there is no news about another new distillery being built or the reopening of a distillery that has been closed for a long time.
Scotland, together with Ireland, is today considered the motherland of whisky, whose roots there go back to around 1500 AD.
