Ransom Dry Vermouth 750 ml
$35.00
A modern revival of Belle Époque elegance, Ransom Dry Vermouth delivers a finely-tuned balance of floral brightness, rounded citrus, and bittersweet depth—ideal for cocktails or sipping on its own.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Blended from organically and conventionally farmed aromatic white varietals—including Pinot Noir Blanc and other white grapes—this vermouth is fortified with house-distilled brandy and aged in mixed French oak.
Its botanical recipe (mostly organic ingredients) is rich and nuanced, featuring wormwood, rosehip, skullcap, chamomile, orange & lemon peel, verbena, spearmint, star anise, cinnamon bark, coriander, angelica root, burdock, fennel, cardamom, and vanilla bean.
Tasting Profile
-
Aroma: Floral and herbal notes of neroli orange, verbena blossom, white tea, and delicate honeysuckle.
-
Palate: Sweet-tart complexity with lively herbal tones. Expect cucumber, basil, absinthe-like bitterness, baking spices, and a touch of overripe peach, rounded by juicy citrus notes.
-
Finish: Long, balanced, and drying—highlighting lemon peel, lemon verbena, and a meadow-like herbal echo.
Cocktail & Serving Uses
Versatile and elegant, Ransom Dry Vermouth is exceptional in both minimalist cocktails—like a Dry Martini or Gibson—and more herbal, contemporary riffs. Its complexity also allows it to shine when sipped neat or over a large cube, pairing beautifully with cheese plates.
