Vermouth & Aromatic Wine

MIRO TARRAGONA, SPAIN Extra Seco Vermut de Reus #30151249 / 1L

DOLIN FRANCE Vermouth de Chambéry

This vermouth has a distinctly Catalan character, and embodies many of the savory flavors found in the famed olives of the region. Truly bone dry - with no added sugar - it is made with herbs sourced from the Pyrenees mountains and citrus of the Mediterranean. Its wine base of Airén (La Mancha) and Macabeo (Penedes) adds a nice minerality. Enjoy neat chilled or in a classic 1:1 martini.

Rojo Vermut de Reus #30151246 / 1L Medium-sweet Miro Rojo, whose wormwood note excites the front of the palate but allows the baking spices to show through, makes for a friendly Manhattan even with the most peppery or leathery of Bourbons or Ryes.
