Gonzalez Byass Vermouth Extra-Seco La Copa

Fino Sherry with a distinctive, dry character and salty finish. The citrus aromas and delicious bitter touches of the wormwood and the savory notes with sweet hints of cinnamon. This vermouth is inspired by the original recipe, still preserved in the Gonzales Byass Historical Archives, dating back to this extra dry vermouth to enhance the balsamic notes and give a long finish. La Copa Extra Seco is ideal for today's cocktail bars and for the great, classic cocktails.

Slightly briny and heavy with that iconic old wine character, the botanical influence is extremely mild here, with a spray of green herbs, a hint of clove, and quite mild bitterness. It’s unexpected and the botanicals are much too dialed back for my taste, but fans of straight, dry sherry may gravitate more to this bottling.
