Vermouth Blanc

White vermouth is one of the vermouth categories that is somewhere between dry and sweet vermouth. Most examples of the style are medium sweet and pale, and producers tend to use warm spices such as vanilla to make the sweetness more pronounced.

Apart from vanilla, typical aromas include herbaceous and floral notes. White vermouth can be used in cocktails, but it also makes a great aperitif, preferably served on the rocks. The origin of white vermouth is not entirely clear, but it is widely accepted that the French brand Dolin from Chambéry created the first version in the 19th century.
