Comoz Vermouth de Chambery Blanc
by Maison Dolin
$18.50
Produced by Maison Dolin from the classic 1881 recipe created by Jean-Pierre Comoz. The second-oldest of Chambery vermouth producers after Dolin, and perhaps the first to produce a clear vermouth "Blanc". Comoz Blanc showcases a local selection of wines, plants, and fruits, many of which come from the hills above Chambery. True to its historic character, it is less sweet than other vermouth blanc, with notes of stone fruits, alpine flowers, and a deep, resonant undercurrent of wormwood. Drink on the rocks with a twist, or mix with gin, vodka, or blanco tequila.
Comoz was the only vermouth blanc sold in Cuba, as such it was the defining element of the famous El Presidente cocktail. Comoz remained in family hands until 1981, when the house ceased production and closed. Maison Dolin later acquired the marque and recipe and in conjunction with Haus Alpenz have reintroduced this piece of cocktail history to a new generation.
