Veso Olive Vermouth 750ml

Producer Notes

From the outer edges of the modern aperitif movement comes one of the more compelling evolutions of vermouth in years. Crafted in Veso, this savory-driven expression shifts the focus away from sweetness and bitterness toward pure umami precision. Built on a base of California white wine fortified with neutral grape spirit, it’s infused with fresh Castelvetrano olives, with a touch of their natural brine folded back in to enhance texture and depth. The botanical profile reads more like a kitchen than a still: rosemary, thyme, oregano, citrus peel, dill seed, and a subtle thread of kombu that adds a gentle saline richness. The result is not simply olive flavored, but a complete and layered expression that evokes marinated olives with lift and clarity rather than blunt salinity. At 18% ABV, it excels as the ultimate dirty martini vermouth, delivering depth without the need for added brine, but its versatility extends far beyond a single application. A serious, thoughtful take on vermouth that brings savory complexity into sharp focus.
