Last year, we began our offer of the inaugural release of La Bota's Vermouths by simply stating, "Buy these!"
The Vermouths were that impressive.

Clearly, people understood that La Bota's releases are always among the best examples of their respective categories. The offer sold out quickly.
We've been waiting for the next release ever since, mostly because the entire staff wants some for themselves.
I'm happy to offer La Bota's just released red and white vermouths.
Equipo Navazo is famous for producing utterly compelling sherries. They've achieved a level of fame that makes much in the way of an introduction pretty unnecessary.
Beyond sherry, the Equipo Navazos team has focused on releases that explore the depth of sherry country’s offerings. This includes spirits, unfortified wines, incredible vinegars, and now, a red and white vermouth (or vermut in Spain).
The Vermut Blanco Seco is based on fino sherry. It's amazingly deep, savory, and saline-tinged. Trying to capture how multifaceted and incredibly nuanced this dry white vermouth is is close to impossible. It's perfect on its own with a twist.
The Rosso is based on Oloroso and is beautifully balanced. This isn't a knock against it, but it's not as mind-bendingly complicated as the Blanco and easier to imagine using it in your favorite cocktail. It has a lovely bitterness with notes of citrus and spice.
This is an offer where I wish that I had more available. Both of these are fun to have around, but I'd bet they'll disappear in the next couple of days. It's definitely worth taking advantage of the special 4-pack pricing.
