Cocchi Storico Vermouth Di Torino 75cl

I don't stock anything else now. I've compared it to most of the usual suspects (e.g. Antica, Sacred, Carpano Classico) and this has always been the most impressive for Negronis and Rye Manhattans (and variations).

Some may find it a little too sweet for a Bourbon Manhattan, so might want to split the vermouth quota there with some Dry Vermouth, Dry Sherry or Punt e Mes

Great for a Negroni

I bought this as I recently discovered the delights of Negroni and wanted to make my own. This is a sweet Vermouth and I found it so nice I now (occasionally) drink it on it's own, on the rocks.

To bitter for me, didn't enjoy it as I thought I would.

I looked forward to trying this after reading positive reviews but after opening and trying it neat I found it somewhat medicinal and overly bitter. To be fair I should try a few cocktails and mix it up but I don't hold high hopes it will be a regular in my bar nor would I want to mix only to pour down the sink. Best to chalk it up to experience and try something else.

umm can't agree with other reviews, not quite up to it for my taste.

This is an excellent product. Enough said.

This is a little in the neighbourhood of Antica Formula, though not as viscous. It has a rich immediate taste and a long aftertaste. It has an amber-brown colour and very clearly further away from the wine it´s based on than say, Chazelettes, Dolin or Quintinye. You notice the slightly higher ABV along with the feeling you´re smelling it as much as tasting it. I´d use this for a ritzy Rob Roy matched to a decent blended whisky rather than drink it neat.

Such a unique taste. Amazing! Especially in my favorite drink, the Negroni.

Beautiful vermouth, I love my negroni's and this makes a fantastic drink even better.
