No 410 Indonesian peanut - spirit

The familiar English name of the peanut "peanut" - literally "pea nut" - already indicates its relationship to peas. Although the name might suggest it, the peanut is not a nut, but belongs to the papilionaceous family and thus to the legume family. For this reason, peanuts are more closely related to peas and beans than to nuts. The relationship is recognizable by the fact that peanuts do not have a hard shell, but ripen in a pod.

We have very consciously selected the wild organic peanuts in raw food quality, which we obtain 100% natural, i.e. unroasted and unsalted from Indonesia, because they have a more original taste than the roasted peanut kernels from the supermarket. It is a wild variety, grown by small farmers on half a hectare of land each, according to organic standards in mixed crops, so no pesticides are needed. All the operations are done by hand. Twice a year the organic peanut kernels are harvested and after harvesting they are dried in their shells in a special process and then cracked. The valuable red-brown striped seed skin remains largely intact.

To enhance the flavor of these pure, wild peanuts for vergeistung, we have gently roasted them in our manufactory, freed them from the seed skins and then extracted and distilled them with our mild neutral alcohol. The result is freshly roasted peanut flavor pure in the glass, which comes mainly from 2-methyl-3-furanthiol with a roasted and meaty note and 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline and 2-propionyl-1-pyrroline with a popcorn-like note.
