La Copa Rojo Red Vermouth
$29.99
From Jerez, Spain. This is famed Gonzalez Byass' take on Red Vermouth, which uses their own Oloroso and PX sherry aged for eight years as the base. 15.5% ABV.
From The Producer
"The first references to vermouth in Gonzalez Byass date back to 1896. The La Copa range is based on these recipes found in the company archives dating back to 1896, with labels inspired by the designs found in the company’s historic archives.
The details are a closely guarded secret, but botanicals including wormwood, savory, clove, orange, cinnamon, nutmeg, angelic root and cinchona bark. They are carefully blended with fino, oloroso and Pedro Ximinez wines for a perfect bitter-sweet, aromatic balance. Delicious as a long drink with tonic or neat over ice."
Marolo Ulrich Vermouth Bianco
$44.99
This Italian vermouth is made with a base of white wine from the Pietmonte region. Bottled at 16%.
From The Producer
"“Something special, without exaggeration.” This was the request of Savoy ladies, pride and pleasure of Turinʼs bourgeoisie, seated at Art Nouveau café tables. The Vermouth Rosso, with its high alcoholic content and masculine characteristics, was being softened: the color was lightened and the aroma became more delicate, favoring botanical infusions that were more feminine. This is how the Vermouth Bianco Domenico Ulrich was born, a perfect balance of sweetness and bitter notes, great for mixing or drinking straight, with or without ice. The aperitif par excellence, best served with a squeeze of fresh lemon and garnished with citrus twist that enhances its floral notes."
