More excellent sherry vermouth. This one comes from Gonazalez-Byass who make the world's best selling fino, Tio Pepe. The Spanish have gone vermouth mad in the last few years. Very sensible of them. But sherry vermouth is nothing new. This particular one, La Copa, is a revival of a 19th century brand and made to the original recipe. The label too is a recreation of the original. It's made with top quality sherry, aromatised with various herbs, dried fruit and spices including, of course, wormwood. It's light and delicate and dry(ish) with good depth of flavour.
Lemony with herbal and spicy aromas, bitter wormwood notes and notes of almond and chamomile on the finish. A delicious alternative to Noilly Prat and would do great in a very wet Martini.
