Here are some of the judges’ comments: “…..complex notes of pineapple, lychee, coconut and potpourri….”, “….sweetness well balanced, with bruised apples and pears…”, “..incredibly complex and interesting, and amazing over ice with fresh lemon…”

I’ve never been much of a fan of vermouth but the 40 Vermouth has changed my opinion. I was given a bottle of this brilliant vermouth and Brighton Gin for Christmas in a lovely hamper. Combined they make the best dry martini I’ve ever had! Try it with Nocellara olives because the butteriness of the olives works wonderfully with the flavours of vermouth and gin. I will definitely be buying this again myself.

An utterly delicious, delicate and fragrant semi-sweet white vermouth….This vermouth has a delciate floral scent that sings of summer and as the name suggests, it’s made using 40 botanicals including English countryside classics such as rose petals thyme and camomile as well as saffron, cardamom and tea. Good enough to drink on its own on the rocks or try it with a delicate tonic such as Fever-Tree Light. It’s also delicious…made into a spritz using English sparkling wine or mixed with elderflower presse, gin and bitters.

Albourne Estate’s 40, which is made as a byproduct of the Sussex estate’s wine, could be used for a rather delicious negroni, but it’s cracking on its own, too. A Deliciously herby, nutty vermouth.

Cardamom and saffron notes shine through, along with a very pleasing herbaceous astringency. Enjoy on its own or with anything cheesy
