Lillet Blanc is one of the classic wine-based aperitifs, and is great sipped as is, or mixed in cocktails. This is produced in Bordeaux and is made with white wines from the region, as well as fruit, brandy, herbs and spices. The blend is then aged in oak for about 6 to 12 months.
Lillet Blanc has a delicately sweet taste with hints of citrus and floral aromas. It is best served chilled and over ice.
Herbal, fruity nose. Hints of parsley, red berries and cracked black pepper.
Hints of port, white grapes and lemon on the palate. Cedar, zest, notes of pepper and a development of sage.
Long finish with creaking oak notes.

Really too sweet for a dry vermouth, not for me
Yet to try it on it's own with Ice or tonic water, I generally love it in a Vesper Martini, but have recently Discovered love in a Robb Roy with this and Black and White Blended Whiskey.
I'm a late-comer to Lillet but I'm glad I made it! Very subtle taste and I've been using it in cocktails, to great acclaim from the audience.
Liking a Martini I've tried a number of different vermouths and think this is far and away the best - doesn't add flavour you don't want and has a good shelf life so still tastes good a long time after opening.
Fantastic taste , Use to be kina lillet but theve just changed the recipe a bit to suit todays market . Used in the James Bonds favorite cocktail The "Vespa" and its not a Vermouth ..
