دولين فيرموث دي شامبيري سويت ريد (375 مل)، فرنسا

The Alpine botanicals really come through in the nose—it's more complex than other sweet vermouths I've tried. A half-bottle lasts me a few weeks of Manhattans without going stale.

The 375ml bottle is perfect for trying a new vermouth without committing to a big liter. I’ve been using it in white negronis and the herbal, alpine character makes the drink feel a lot more elegant than the usual stuff.

The alpine botanicals really come through on the nose—fresh and green, exactly as described. It's subtle on the palate but has that complex, elegant depth that makes a perfect Manhattan, and the 375ml size is just right for trying it out. I've already ordered another bottle.
