WERMOD, GREAT BRITISH VERMOUTH
all the freshness of Spring, in a glass
With its vast range of environments – uplands, forest, pasture, seashore, and riverbank – Britain enjoys a wonderful variety of wild and naturalised herbs. A great number of these have health-preserving properties, so it is little wonder that this country has a deep tradition of herbalism, going back thousands of years.
When the Romans brought winemaking to Britannia, they provided the perfect medium for capturing all this herbal richness: the infusion that the Old English named wermód – and that we call Vermouth.
Like all true vermouths, Wermod Dry contains wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), a bitter perennial herb known as a tonic and aid to digestion. This is balanced with 23 other herb essences to create a crisp, harmonious whole.
Made by hand in small batches on the Dalmeny Estate, near Edinburgh.
British wine, spirit, and herbs – sustainably grown and foraged here on the estate.
No added sweeteners (or other artificial additives) – so no soapy aftertaste in your martini!
Cold infused, to preserve the delicate flavours and beneficial qualities of our 24 herbs and flowers.
Made with herbs that harmonise with gin botanicals, such as bay, orris, and coriander, for delicious cocktails. Other ingredients, such as lemon balm and elderflower, give a floral depth to the wine flavour. Still others, like nettle and “sticky Willie,” are medicinal herbs that most people now think of as weeds.
Many of these herbs are “aperient,” promoting good appetite. Wermod Dry is thus an ideal aperitif.
