Veso 'Anchovy' Vermouth

We had this crazy idea - let's put anchovies in a vermouth. Anchovies are packed with umami, the perfect complement to a dirty, filthy martini. We paired that with fish sauce for a little funk, shiitake mushrooms for their savory-boosting ability, and a variety of hand-selected botanicals to provide depth and complexity, all infused into a base of Paso Robles Chardonnay made from organic grapes and brandy. The result is an oddly delicious dry vermouth that's bursting with umami. Use a splash of it in a dirty martini to make it absolutely filthy, add a few ounces to a bloody mary, or mix it up into mezcal or whiskey cocktails for an unexpected shift in flavor. -Distiller's Notes
