Vermouth - There Really is a Difference

If you are a "Cocktail-ophile" like me, particularly one who cares a lot about classic cocktails like a perfect Martini, Manhattan or Old Fashioned, as I am, you can be very concerned about the vermouth you are using.

Yet I have always been perplexed when facing the choices in my local liquor stores. They all offer an array of red, sweet, and white, dry, Vermouth at a price range of $5-10. Now one comes along a vermouth that sells for $18-20, I took notice.

Dolin is among the few remaining independent producers of Vermouth and the last producing Vermouth de Chambéry. Dolin continue to make the authentic product according to the principles which earned Chambéry France's only A.O. for Vermouth back in 1932

Dolin Vermouths are notably lighter, drier and less pungent than their larger commercial counterparts. The particular mixture of plants found near Chambéry give a fresh, restrained and elegant nose, with a subtle, complex bittersweet palate. Can be enjoyed as aperitif on ice, with a twist of citrus, or in a broad array of traditional cocktails.

This is the real thing. Don't spoil your high end vodka, bourbon or rye with second rate vermouth, get Dolins.
