Duvel distilled 2023 celebrate bottle Bottle no. 13798 To build on Duvel's characteristic intensity, our distillers, led by master distiller Cédric Heymans, opted for cellar aging in wood. They allowed the Duvel spirit to rest for 10 years in oak barrels of bourbon and sherry, after which the final step was to finish this blend in Sicilian Marsala barrels. Marsala is an age-old fortified sweet wine in which alcohol is added to the fermenting grape juice. The maturation in Marsala barrels will tickle your nose with spicy aromas of vanilla and cloves. That aromatic strength is supplemented in your mouth with fruity accents. Even after ten years of maturation, Duvel's balanced character remains recognizable. Furthermore, in Duvel Distilled 2023 you can taste the full flavors of cherry, apricot and raisin. These different layers of flavor together form an elegant harmony in which the expressive wood character provides structure and a complex aftertaste. After the great success of Duvel Distilled in 2021, our brewers worked passionately on a new edition, with a different unique finish. This Duvel distillate harmoniously brings together the essence of brewing and distilling traditions. With a complex production process and 10 years of maturation, only 19,368 bottles of this limited edition are available worldwide.
