El Bandarra Vermut is from Catalunya and made with Macabeo and Xarel·lo grapes from the winery's estates in the Alt Penedès. The vermouth features over 50 extracts of herbs, flowers and spices such as cinnamon, ginger, vanilla, liquorice, aniseed, chamomile, rosemary, bay leaf, hops, bitter orange - to name a few! After maceration, it gets a little rest in oak barrels before heading in to the bottle, which is clearly channelling the '50s, and we like it.
Smooth and sweet, with liquorice aromas, citrus notes and a delicate balance of sweetness and bitterness.
It's just the right level of sweetness and jeez does it have lovely flavours from the usual (slightly) bitter to orange. Love this!
I love this. The vermud is slightly thinner than some, which makes it a great aperitif. The flavour is amazing and my friend said that the one I made with it was “the best negroni he has ever had”. I agree.
Very easy to drink, but somewhat light. Lacks a bit of bite, orange very much to the fore, so much so that at times it reminded me of sangria.
This is absolutely delicious, a great find, will order again.
Strictly the only alcohol i drink shouts out to El Bandarra
