William Hinton's MOOT Meio-Doce Vermouth is a unique and intriguing spirit showcasing Madeira Island's best viticultural heritage. This semi-sweet vermouth is a relatively recent addition to the William Hinton range, but it has quickly gained recognition for its exceptional quality and distinctive flavor profile.
The production of MOOT Meio-Doce Vermouth begins with a base of aged Madeira wine, a fortified wine known for its rich, complex flavors. This wine provides the foundation for the vermouth, imparting its characteristic sweetness and oxidative notes. The wine is then fortified with neutral spirits and infused with a carefully selected blend of botanicals, including herbs, spices, and citrus peel. These botanicals from Madeira and other regions contribute to the vermouth's complex and aromatic character.
After the infusion process, the vermouth is aged in oak barrels, developing additional depth and complexity. This aging process allows the flavors to meld and harmonize, resulting in a well-balanced and elegant spirit.
MOOT Meio-Doce Vermouth is a versatile spirit that can be enjoyed in various ways. It can be sipped neat, on the rocks, or used as a key ingredient in cocktails. Its unique combination of sweetness, bitterness, and aromatic notes perfectly complements a wide range of spirits, including gin, whiskey, and rum.
