He passed away un 2013. His daughter and her husband, now run the company with the help of Jean Arnaud, cellar master, with great enthusiasm. The particularity: the distilleries are not mentioned on the bottles. Michel Couvreur estimated that "90% of the quality of a whisky comes from the barrel and only 10% from the distillation process".
Michel Couvreur whiskies are of a very high quality with a lot of roundness and balance.
