Yzaguirre

Yzaguirre is often called the oldest vermouth in Spain. It is the first Spanish vermouth brand, and though the company produces several styles, the first and signature label is Yzaguirre Rojo, the sweet (red) vermouth. This classic has been produced since 1884, and it is still one of the most popular varieties on the market.

This vermouth starts as a white wine made from the local Macabeo variety that is mixed with herbal macerate and is then left to age in oak. The resulting vermouth is aromatic, smooth, and pleasantly balanced with sweetness and acidity. It has fruity, herbal, and spice aromas with hints of balsamic notes.

The finish is long and intense. Yzaguirre is usually enjoyed on the rocks, traditionally with an orange slice or an olive. It is also a great ingredient in cocktails and long drinks.
