Duchess Reserve Remix #RemixMonth

Every time remix month comes about, I like to go after that elusive eliquid that had previously escaped me. After numerous attempts from the community to get a Duchess remix, I finally feel like this is worth releasing to the public. This is a few years in the making and I like to give credit to Method aka Mr. Hardwick for laying the foundation and getting us to this point.

In Duchess Reserve the thing that always had me baffled was the cookie aspect, I lowered the butter pecan to .25%, and it’s critical to not overpour because it can take over fast! And added in some graham cracker to round out the cookie notes.

Also the cakey aspect, I feel like the tres leches, along with the creams covers that pretty well. I went back and forth with TFA vanilla custard, FW, and Cap VC, to me the Cap version was closer to the original in every aspect. Looking back to the time this eliquid came out, I could easily see them exclusively using FW and just getting the Cap Vanilla Custard from a vendor and buying that one concentrate in bulk. At that time, Cap VC was king and still is to this day. Especially after a good steep.

With that being said I do need to move on from this chase, and I’m happy to do so now since I really do think we’re damn close. Here I present my final version of the Duchess Reserve for #remixmonth.

UPDATE 5-5-2021 After buying some of this juice the other day I just had to come back and remake this masterpiece. I know it’s not exactly Duchess with the minor changes I made with adding probably my all time favorite flavoring, Shisha Vanilla, removing cake batter, and throwing in some RY4, this recipe is quickly becoming a staple in my rotation.
