Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth is a Vermouth from the Timbal Vermouth brand hailing from Spain.

What is Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth?

Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth stands out with its unique blend of 28 botanicals, including rare Spanish herbs and flowers that create a distinctively crisp and floral profile. Interestingly, this vermouth is aged in century-old oak barrels that once held Oloroso sherry, imparting subtle notes of nuts and dried fruits that beautifully complement its herbaceous character.

Why do we love Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth?

Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth stands out for its exceptionally low sugar content, making it one of the driest vermouths on the market and perfect for martini purists. Crafted in Spain using a blend of local herbs and botanicals, including wormwood from the Sierra Nevada mountains, Timbal offers a crisp, herbaceous profile that enhances cocktails without overpowering them.

How do you drink Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth?

Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth shines in classic aperitif-style cocktails, where its crisp, herbaceous notes can take center stage, but it's equally delightful served chilled and neat or with a splash of soda and twist of lemon. This versatile vermouth is perfect for warm summer evenings, pairing beautifully with light seafood dishes, fresh salads, or a selection of tangy cheeses and olives.

Tasting Notes

How It's Made

Fun Facts

Product Details

Nose: Clean and crisp with prominent herbal notes. Juniper and citrus peel aromas stand out, backed by subtle hints of chamomile and fresh-cut grass. A touch of white pepper adds complexity.

Palate: Dry and light-bodied with a refreshing bitterness. Wormwood and gentian root provide a firm herbal backbone. Lemon zest and coriander seed offer bright, citrusy highlights. Undertones of sage and thyme contribute depth.

Finish: Long and pleasantly bitter. The herbal notes linger, accompanied by a slight minerality reminiscent of wet stones. A faint sweetness emerges at the very end, balancing the overall dryness.

Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth is crafted using a unique blend of white wines and a careful selection of botanicals, which are macerated directly in the wine. What sets Timbal apart is its use of a special vacuum distillation process at low temperatures, which helps preserve the delicate aromas and flavors of the botanicals while creating a particularly crisp and refined vermouth.

Timbal Extra Dry Vermouth is made with a unique blend of 28 botanicals, including one surprising ingredient: seaweed from the Galician coast of Spain. This unusual addition contributes a subtle minerality and umami note to the vermouth's complex flavor profile.

Unlike most vermouths, Timbal Extra Dry undergoes a unique "double maceration" process. The botanicals are first infused in the base wine, then the mixture is distilled. The resulting spirit is then re-infused with fresh botanicals, creating an exceptionally intense and layered flavor.

The name "Timbal" is a nod to the vermouth's musical roots. It's named after a type of drum used in classical orchestras, reflecting the brand's goal of creating a harmonious "symphony" of flavors. Each batch is even "tuned" by master blenders to ensure a consistent flavor profile.
