Door het rijpen van de klassieke Duvel in de eiken Ierse whiskyvaten, kreeg het speciaalbier krachtige rokerige toetsen van eik en vanille en een oudere, koperkleurige tint.
Very attractive nose with a core of dark fruits, garrigue and thyme. A rounded palate with a salty mineral note on the mid palate, firm tannins give structure and need a little while to settle.
This is soothingly round with a gentle inner sweetness and a wave of ripe orchard fruit elevated by brisk acidity. It leaves the palate stained in youthful concentration, finishing lightly structured.

This has beautiful freshness and honey character with sliced apples and pears as well as lemons and honey. Medium- to full-bodied, it has depth of fruit, minerals and a long finish.

The 2022 Etna Bianco Le Vigne Niche Santo Spirito lifts from the glass with a savory blend of crushed green apples, wet stones and touches of chamomile. This is silky and soothing.
