Just purchased a 375 of this as I explore vermouth and sherry wines in the context of building cocktails. Here's the skinny on this one - best gin Martini vermouth I've had yet. Beats out Dolin Dry, Martini & Rossi, Noilly Pratt, Cinzano and a host of others. In fact, this is the best Martini vermouth I've tried so far. And I mean a lifetime of Martini's, btw.
This is just ideal in a 3:1 with Botanist and a few drops of saline. Nothing more is needed. Delicate, light, complex, and satisfying.
This vermouth offers hints of cinnamon, sweet grains, spice and green botanicals over a layer of tart, complex Fino sherry. There are notes of lemon, baking spices, bittering agents, floral elements and more. And its all in a harmonious balance whether consumed chilled, on ice or in a stirred cocktail.
Impressive as a cocktail component and pretty tasty solo. Top recommendations!
