I feel like there should be more of a story for this one.
"Overaged"? I'm pretty sure that has literally, and legally, no meaning.
It's interesting though, Couvreur sources Scotch whiskies which are then shipped to France as new make and matured in caves in the Burgundy region They are aged between 12 and 20-years-old in ex-Pedro Ximenez casks.
The resulting whisky is creamy and thick, it tastes like old boots and barrels at first with rich vanilla a dry fruit coming through once you get past that. There's also a bitter touch of tobacco which sort of balances it out.
This has a waxed cork which is hard to open. Once you peel away the wax there's grove for a screw top which is good because the cork was destroyed in the opening of it in my case. This is a whole level of inconvenience that isn't really required.
It's good if you like "sherry bombs" but it's more the novelty of having a french whisky that's doing anything here. Buy Edradour, Scallywag or Glenallachie instead .
BONUS LEGO REVIEW
It's the speeder bike for the scout trooper! The Lego Advent Calender people do like to pair their builds (and this year there's a Mandalorian theme if I didn't mention it). This model is not accurate to anything, but you know what it is, it goes with the scout and if you don't immediately pop the scout on it and swoosh it about for 5 minutes you have no heart.
