gold rakija

$89.00

You've met our Classic Rakija, now meet its slightly richer, slightly better-looking cousin Gold Rakija. Like our classic variety, DNA's Gold Rakija is made from Australian Shiraz grapes and double-distilled in small batches.

Tasting Notes

Taste: Rich and full on the palate, with layers of warm honey, dried fruit, and a subtle herbal bitterness that keeps it interesting. Sweeter and more complex than the Classic.

Body & Colour: Deep amber-gold. Medium-bodied, with a weight and warmth that sits beautifully on the tongue.

Aroma: Floral and inviting with wet stone minerality and ripe fruit. Rewards patience.

Finish: Long and sweet with lingering herbal and fruit notes. The San Francisco World Spirits judges called it simply "wonderful." We agree, but Dedo said it first.

What Dedo wants you to know: Dedo’s secret recipe and he’s not telling. Bridges the gap for whisky drinkers who haven’t met rakija yet.
