Fred Jerbis Vermut 25 Sweet Vermouth 750ml
DescriptionDiscover vermouth renaissance with Fred Jerbis Vermut 25, where meticulous botanical selection meets innovative production to create sweet vermouth of exceptional clarity and complexity. This sophisticated expression uses 25 carefully chosen botanicals to reimagine what vermouth can be when every element receives individual attention before harmonious blending.
Fred Jerbis approaches vermouth with the same precision applied to their amari. Each of the 25 botanicals likely undergoes individual extraction to optimize flavor contribution. Traditional vermouth elements – wormwood, citrus, warming spices – are present but handled with unusual care. The wine base receives equal attention, selected for quality that can support complex botanical additions without being overwhelmed. It's vermouth constructed rather than simply produced.
The '25' botanical count suggests complexity through diversity rather than random accumulation. Each botanical serves a purpose: some provide structure, others aromatic lift, still others bridge between wine and bitter elements. The sweetening is calibrated to enhance rather than mask, allowing botanical complexity to shine. This isn't vermouth designed to hide inferior wine but to showcase how great ingredients create transcendent results.
Tasting reveals vermouth elevated to art. The nose offers immediate complexity – citrus oils, alpine herbs, warm spices, and mysterious bitter notes create an enticing bouquet. On the palate, sweetness is present but balanced, allowing waves of botanical flavor to emerge. The wine base remains evident, providing structure for botanicals to express themselves. Individual elements might reveal themselves: gentian bitterness, orange peel brightness, perhaps cardamom warmth or sage earthiness.
Perfect for vermouth enthusiasts seeking premium expressions, cocktail crafters who understand ingredients matter, or anyone curious about Italy's liqueur renaissance, Fred Jerbis Vermut 25 redefines sweet vermouth. It's proof that traditional categories achieve new heights when approached with precision and passion.
