LAIE Red Vermouth 1 Liter

About This Spirit:
LAIE is about capturing the feeling of “Vermut hour” – where our friends get together after work and indulge in each other’s company, surrounded by great Vermouth and Tapas.

LAIE is a tribute to the Laietani, the original settlers of the beautiful and bountiful lands around Barcelona. Artfully crafted by the oldest Vermouth maker in Catalonia, following the same methods in use since 1880, we select the highest quality wines and marry them with macerated natural aromatic herbs to produce a beautiful Sweet Red Vermouth suited for enjoying on its own, or in cocktails where you want to let the spirit take center stage. Simply serve on the rocks with a slice of orange and an olive, or add a splash of soda and your favorite gin to enjoy a “Vermouth preparado”, or use in cocktail recipes calling for a great vermouth.
