Overall impression

Vermut Cori Blanco is the clear expression of a singular project within the Reus vermouth ecosystem: a drink created in 2014 by Joan Tàpias — a great connoisseur and owner of the Museu del Vermut — and produced by Vermuts Miró using the Tàpias family's own recipe, distinct from the standard Miró range. According to the official product sheet at vermutmiro.com, it is a vermouth from the city of Reus (Tarragona, Catalonia) that blends white wine with aromatic herbs — wormwood, gentian, clove, cinnamon and vanilla among others — through maceration, lending the characteristic bitterness and the gently spiced aroma of the style. The house describes it as crystalline with straw-yellow highlights, silky, highly appealing, with a persistent and refreshing palate. It is not among the Vinari 2026 awards that Miró received that year for other own references (Reserva, Fusión, Rosé, Zero), according to the official competition communiqué; Cori is a separate chapter, tied to the museum-restaurant and the Reus tradition that Tàpias promotes from his establishment. At fifteen degrees in a 75 cl bottle, it fits naturally into the Reus vermouth trail as an aromatic white of Mediterranean character, produced by one of the eight Vermut de Reus brands that maintain the traditional method of Catalonia's vermouth capital.

Nose and palate

The Miró website details a clear organoleptic profile consistent with a maceration-herb Reus white: crystalline straw colour, aromatic and mentholated herbal sensations, sweet spiced nuances with highlighted vanilla. The nose is fresh and spiced, with wormwood and gentian providing bitter structure without aggression, while cinnamon and clove wrap the whole with moderate warmth. On the palate the vermouth is silky and persistent, with balance between semisweet sweetness and clean botanical bitterness; the texture is light and refreshing, suited to very cold aperitif consumption. The mentholated notes — consistent with the gentian and wormwood of the declared formula — bring Mediterranean freshness, while vanilla softens the sip and extends the finish. There is no barrel ageing or solera: this is a direct-maceration white that prioritises visual clarity and aromatic cleanliness. The result is an honest, gastronomic and easy-drinking vermouth, with the personality of the Tàpias recipe above the standard profile of the bottling house.

How to serve it

Cori Blanco is designed to be served very cold, in keeping with the Reus bar and terrace aperitif tradition. It works in a wide glass with ice, a green olive or a lemon twist, highlighting its refreshing and mentholated character. It also suits lighter mixed drinks with soda or bar bitter when a white with more herbaceousness than sweetness is wanted. With its semisweet profile and fifteen degrees, it is accessible for long vermouth sessions without fatiguing the palate. On the Reus vermouth trail it pairs with conservas, arbequina olives, jamón crisps or anchovies in vinegar — the typical Catalan aperitif spread. The 75 cl bottle is available at vermutmiro.com and at sales points within the Vermut de Reus ecosystem. For those visiting the Museu del Vermut, Cori embodies in bottle the passion of Joan Tàpias for the history of Reus vermouth, shareable at home with the same spirit as in the emblematic venue opened in 2014.

Production context

Vermuts Miró, at Carrer Adrià Gual 10 in Reus, bottles Cori Blanco following the formula developed by Joan Tàpias for the Museu del Vermut. Production combines white wine with maceration of aromatic herbs — wormwood, gentian, clove, cinnamon, vanilla and other botanicals from the family recipe — following the Vermut de Reus tradition that the city maintains with eight active brands. Fifteen degrees alcohol, 75 cl, no declared barrel ageing. The project was born in 2014 as a bottled extension of the museum-restaurant experience, through the explicit collaboration between Tàpias and Miró documented on the official website. Cori Negre completes the range in red. For Vermutpedia, this white represents the Reus museum-author vermouth: an independent family recipe, bottled by the most awarded house in the Catalan vermouth D.O. appellation, yet with its own identity linked to the Museu del Vermut and Joan Tàpias, not to be confused with the Vinari awards that Miró earns for its own-brand references.
