A classically-styled dry vermouth from Germany, this Belsazar Dry Vermouth is made with wines from the South Baden region, combined with fruit brandies from Schladerer and a selection of herbs, including wormwood. Sweet top-notes of apricot and plum, followed by plenty of traditional bitter notes of wormwood and cinchona lasting on the finish. Sure to be a great cocktail ingredient.
Everyone to their own taste, of course, but I found this actively nasty. A cloying faux-peach note predominates. An impulse buy in Godalming Sainsbury's, and an addition to my very very short list of drinks not to try again.
Makes the best Martini for me when teamed with gin mare. Simply outstanding
