Yzaguirre Seleccion 1884 Vermouth

About

When the earliest vermouth recipes migrated to Catalonia from Italy in the mid 1800s, they collided with a unique terroir, agriculture, and way of life. Yzaguirre Vermouth emerged from this union in 1884 as the most distinguished of its kind. Its artisanal roots and long-kept secret recipe redefine the meaning of exceptional aperitif.

Since it was founded in 1884, Yzaguirre has been making its products in accordance with the traditional methods and exclusive formulas that are the secret to their flavours and aromas, while at the same time innovating and updating the processes that underline the high quality of all our products. Our range of Yzaguirre Vermouths is still manufactured following the traditional methods of the venerable winemakers that sprang up in the foothills of the Italian Alps. Our exclusive formula blends almost 80 herbs and spices which give it that very special touch.

A premium product whose lengthy ageing process gives Yzaguirre Selection 1884 Vermouth a very special consistency. An initial two-month maceration with essential herbs – more than 80 different varieties – is followed by two years in oak barrels which helps to stabilize the aroma and colour of the blend. In the mouth we find notes of wood, herbs and spices. It has a long and original aftertaste with intense bitter nuances.

Serving tip: A very strong aperitif, having been aged in small, old oak barrels which give it a lot of depth and a very special touch. Its high alcohol content makes it seem more like a liqueur.)
