This malt whiskey was specially produced exclusively for Shinsegae Duty Free, with only 850 bottles limited worldwide. It was aged for over 12 and 15 years respectively in Pedro Ximenez and Fino Sherry oak barrels, enhancing the whiskey's depth and completeness. With an alcohol content of 53%, this high-proof whiskey is unfiltered, preserving the rich taste and aroma of the original spirit.

The company explained that the sweet flavors of Pedro Ximenez, reminiscent of the warmth of winter with notes of leather, licorice, and caramel, harmonize exquisitely with the bright citrus scent of Fino Sherry.

Michel Couvreur is a whiskey brand born in the Burgundy region of France and is also the name of its founder. Michel Couvreur believed that aging in oak barrels is the key to whiskey quality and dedicated himself to the study of whiskey maturation and blending. He adhered to a unique process of bringing selected whiskey spirits to Burgundy for direct aging and blending.

It is characterized by using large oak barrels that once stored sherry wine aged for 50 to 100 years, creating complex flavors such as licorice, coffee, and earthy aromas.

The Michel Couvreur limited edition can be found both on the Shinsegae Duty Free online mall and at Incheon Airport Terminal 1 and 2 stores. A Shinsegae Duty Free official stated, "We will continue to strive to provide customers with global premium liquors that combine rarity and quality."
