BM Signature Macvin Single Cask 13 years 2006 48°

The originality of this pure malt whiskey produced in the Jura lies in the fact that it has aged in barrels that previously contained Macvin.

As a reminder, Macvin du Jura is a sweet wine, the result of a blend of must and brandy. The latter two must necessarily come from the same farm to comply with the AOC specifications.

This 2006 vintage whisky was therefore aged for 13 years before being bottled.

Nico's tasting notes

The nose of this whisky is initially quite obscure, reserved, then we suddenly see ourselves pushing open the door of a damp cellar, flooding the place with light and waking up all these wine barrels working in silence.

With aeration, we still don't leave the cellar. The vinous, oxidized, and even sulfurous notes continue to coat us; just like the roundness and even the sweetness of the grapes picked at extreme maturity.

The palate is completely in tune with the nose, and above all perfectly adjusted in terms of power. The sweetness of the chai that first pampered us is here a little more intense but still warm. The oak barrel details deep notes of raisins and dried apricots, prunes, stone fruits in brandy, with a pastry roundness made of almonds and dates.

The finish is gently sulphurous, punctuated with pits and soon coated with a concentrated, oxidised and sweet wine.

“The perfect example of the deliciousness of aging in a liqueur wine barrel…”
