Description

An exceptional tsikoudia, patiently aged in barrels

Tsikoudia Dobro Gold is a refined Cretan brandy, patiently aged in oak barrels for over four years. Thanks to this long maturation, it develops a remarkable aromatic complexity that rivals the best Mediterranean eaux-de-vie.

An assertive, full-bodied character

This controlled aging process gives tsikoudia an elegant amber color and a deeply woody taste profile. From the very first sip, we discover warm notes of vanilla, sweet spices and dried fruit. The alcohol is perfectly integrated, leaving a silky, long and well-balanced mouthfeel. This organic tsikoudia, made using traditional Cretan methods, reflects uncompromising craftsmanship.

Tasting: between tradition and pure pleasure

Serve Dobro Gold at room temperature to fully appreciate its richness, or add an ice cube for a softer sensation. Enjoy it slowly, on its own, or with mature cheeses, dark chocolate desserts or simply at the end of a meal. This 200 ml format is ideal for both gifts and private tastings.

Frequently asked questions about aged Cretan tsikoudia :

• What’s the difference between a classic tsikoudia and an aged tsikoudia?

Aged tsikoudia rests for several years in oak barrels, profoundly altering its aromatic profile. It gradually gains in complexity, develops subtle woody notes and becomes noticeably rounder on the palate. In contrast, the classic version remains more raw and retains a more pronounced freshness.

• How many years of ageing are needed to obtain a good woody tsikoudia?

Aging for at least four years allows the initial fruity aromas to develop in harmony with the spicy notes of the wood. The longer the maturation, the richer and more subtle the aromatic palette.

• What food and spirits pair best with aged tsikoudia?

It is the perfect accompaniment to dried-fruit desserts, dark chocolates and mature cheeses. As an after-dinner drink, it can also elegantly conclude a rich meal and leave a lasting impression.

• At what temperature should aged tsikoudia like Dobro Gold be served?

Best enjoyed slightly chilled, between 10 and 12°C. This temperature allows full expression of the aromas without masking the structure and complex nuances.

• Is it possible to give an aged tsikoudia as a high-end gift?

Yes, absolutely. Thanks to its maturation in casks, its sophisticated profile and its rarity, an aged tsikoudia represents a refined gift for lovers of exceptional spirits.
