Boissiere Extra Dry Vermouth 750ml
DescriptionExperience classic vermouth tradition with Boissiere Extra Dry, a refined expression that has graced cocktails since the 19th century. This historic brand, originally from Turin before relocating to France, maintains old-world production methods that create complexity rarely found in modern vermouths. Using white wine infused with carefully selected botanicals, Boissiere creates a dry vermouth of exceptional character.
Pale straw color with brilliant clarity. The nose reveals sophisticated botanical integration—wormwood provides the characteristic bitter foundation, while herbs including thyme and marjoram add complexity. Citrus peel brightens the profile, with subtle floral notes adding elegance. On the palate, Boissiere Extra Dry delivers bone-dry sophistication—herbal bitterness balanced by subtle citrus, with wine character providing structure rather than sweetness.
What distinguishes Boissiere is its commitment to traditional methods in an increasingly industrialized category. The botanical recipe, unchanged for generations, creates layers of flavor through patient maceration. The base wine quality is evident, providing backbone that supports rather than masks the herbs. This old-world approach creates a vermouth that enhances cocktails while being complex enough to enjoy alone.
Essential for classic Martinis where quality matters, excellent chilled with an olive as aperitif. For those seeking authentic vermouth character with historic pedigree, Boissiere Extra Dry delivers timeless sophistication.
