Willem‘s Vermouth is elegant and has no perceptable acidity. The wine comes from Spain so the vermouth has a gentle fruitiness that belies its Spanish heritage. Appalachian Bourbon, from Moonshine-distiller Duane Freeman, conquers Willem and takes over. The result is an American Manhattan with Dutch roots. Like the city of New York itself. Serve in a frozen martini glass, please.

8cl bottled cocktail.
