Presentation

Same spirit as the Couvreur's Clearach, but older (12 years instead of 3 years old), in the medium humid part of the cellar. Limited edition, this unique barrel is available in 500ml bottles, numbered from 1 to 962. Very mellow and spicy, it's the good witness of PX cask maturation! How the Clearach distillate evolves after more than 12 years of ageing. In comparison with the XV, despite be younger, the XII is darker, slightly red, with honey and liquorice flavors, roundness and concentration. At 47% cask strength, it is powerful without burn feelings. Flavors of cooked fruits, spicy. smooth but tonic mouth, beautiful influence of PX. Liquorice wood aftertaste on a beautiful freshness.
