DUET N. 23
A collector's innovative spirit with the tension and aromatic lift of Riesling grape skins, and the grain structure of rye spirit.
Duet N. 23 is an inventive spirit where grape and grain play in concert, displaying complex flavor notes for a unique sensory profile.
Crafted from spirit distilled from organic rye and matured on grapes used in the production of skin-contact Riesling wine, this spirit is a one-of-a-kind expression that marries the rich character of noble rot within the frame of rye.
Nose:
Complex and aromatic, with a savory and botanical nose. Opens with caraway seed, iodine, and straw, followed by fennel, vanilla, and a creamy nougat sweetness. Layered aromas of caramel, baking spice, orange pith, and chamomile evolve in the glass and carry through the finish with a dry, persistent lift
Palate:
Elegant and textural. Rich, mouth-coating texture with flavors of sticky date pudding, mango nectar, raisin, and apricot jam. The wine finishes with layers of orange marmalade, flinty minerality, and buttered toast, all drawn out over a super-long, dry finish. The interplay of sweetness and acidity is seamless, delivering both power and precision.
