Azaline Saffron Vermouth Bottling Note
Azaline Saffron Vermouth is made by the legendary Gabriel Boudier, which has been in the business of making terrific drinks since 1874 (so you know the family-owned company has got the hang of it). This expression explores a host of fantastic, exciting flavours, built around a core of Pinot Noir grapes and a selection of herbs and spices from across the globe. It features saffron, imparting hugely aromatic florals and spicy elements, alongside the likes of cardamom, coriander, tarragon, juniper, gentian, orange peel, and blackcurrant. Superb for adding a burst of red fruit and herbaceous richness to a Spritz or a Negroni, but it also happens to work great in whisky-based cocktails too.
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Vibrant cherry and dried red fruit, followed by earthy saffron and tarragon, with a crackle of cooking spice. This leads back into a lingering fruit-forward sweetness, balanced by enjoyably bitter herbaceousness.
