Tasting Notes
"Beginning with a very dark amber color, the vermouth has a caramelized aroma with ginger, mint, orange hard candies, and other green herbs going on. It is moderately full with a bittersweet profile. Again the caramel notes dominate here and tames all that was going on in the nose. The finish is a bit flat and cola like with bitter, earthy notes and ginger prevailing in the end. "
