“Like whiskey, vermouth is a complicated drink with subtleties and broad stylistic variations that make tasting and comparison a joy. It is sweeter than whiskey, but not egregiously so… At its best, it is expressive of the time and place of its making, and when splashed into a shot of whiskey, it opens a whole new world of variation and possibility for both the vermouth and the whiskey.” —Excerpt from the feature “Vermouth Mixes it Up” by Tom Johnson
