- Extra dry vermouth produced by Lustau in Jerez, Spain
- Produced from Manzanilla sherry aged in Sanlúcar de Barrameda
- Seven botanicals including wormwood, thyme, marjoram, orange peel, and chamomile; each botanical is separately macerated and the extracts are blended into the wine and rested 6 months
- Fortified with neutral spirit distilled from 100% Airen grapes
- Naturally sweetened to 22 g/l with orange peels macerated in their own juice
- Aromas of elderflower, thyme, and rosemary set the scene for a palate of starfruit, briny Manzanilla, and a hint of pear. The sherry finish dips below the horizon before flashing brightly on a delightfully delayed return.
- 15% ABV
Lustau’s entry into the dry vermouth category adds a briny and umami touch to cocktails, enhancing flavors and helping to balance sweetness and acidity in cocktails. Try it in traditional vermouth-based cocktails such as a Bamboo or Chrysanthemum or as the ideal vermouth for all manner of Martinis—from classic Dry Martinis to Tuxedo and Turf cocktails.

" Made with a base of manzanilla sherry, this faintly briny, bone-dry vermouth is ideal for the driest of dry martinis. Bold and savory dried-herb aromas lead into a tart, puckery palate with a faint bitter edge. Green apple mixes with thyme, chamomile and a hint of tarragon freshness."
