A lovely, though dominating, vermouth, but why does it have to come
in a 1000ml bottle? Picked up a couple of 375ml half bottles in the States, but that is not somewhere I am going back to any time soon.

Paired with rittenhouse rye, it gives one of the smoothest Manhattan. Adjust proportions to your liking. You will taste whole palette of flavors in both whiskey and vermouth

Supreme taste, very Christmassy. Excellent both neat and with a splash of soda. Can be a bit overpowering sometimes though.

Might want to review the volume of the bottle... 50cl or 500ml seems more likely than 5cl.

I've removed the link to The Whisky Exchange which was showing the incorrect bottle size. Thanks for letting us know.

My favourite vermouth: rich, complex, sweet but with a subtle bitterness. Makes a killer Manhattan but is fabulous on its own.

I could have written the same comment Bruce! I wouldn't make a Manhattan with any other vermouth. But when it comes to drinking it on it's own I prefer to stir in a couple of drops of orange bitters.
