Overall impression

Dos Déus Origins Dry White is the most intense and powerful dry white vermouth in the Origins range of Priorat B&D Lab, associated with Zeus — the most powerful god of Olympus — according to prioratlab.com. Made in Bellmunt del Priorat with 90% local Macabeo and 10% mistela; 39 natural herbs and spices of superior quality, including blue ginger, black pepper and angelica. All sweetness comes naturally from the grape. Can be used as extra dry or dry depending on service, given its subtle sweet notes of white fruit. 15% vol., 750 ml. Verema Monovarietats gold 2021. For Vermutpedia, it represents Catalan author dry vermouth: herbal, spiced and powerful, sibling of Origins White (Poseidon, Muscatel) and the Estrelles/Reserva line. The Origins range experiments with varieties and profiles distinct from the house's main production.

Nose and palate

The official sheet describes on the nose a bouquet of spice — clove, cinnamon and nutmeg — that merges with grape aromas. On the palate earthy nuances intensify: powerful, dry but voluminous entry, with a slightly viscous sensation. The finish highlights long persistence of spiced notes and fortified white wine. Priorat Macabeo brings vinous freshness under herbal layers; mistela (10%) introduces subtle natural sweetness that allows serving as dry or extra dry depending on context. Compared with industrial extra dry vermouths, Origins Dry White is more complex and territorial: 39 proprietary botanics, blue ginger and black pepper in a profile that borders on bitterness. The 15% vol. supports structure in cocktails without feeling ethereal. In the glass, spiced power and persistence stand out; angelica and dried herb aftertaste closes with character. A dry white for palates seeking Priorat vermouth with Verema award and serious cocktail soul.

How to serve it

Priorat B&D Lab proposes Origins Dry White in God's Drink (Amontillado, vermouth, tonic, lemon twist), Floral Negroni (gin, vermouth, elderflower liqueur, Suze) and Bamboo (Fino, vermouth, orange bitter, lemon twist). Serve very cold, between 4 and 6 °C, in a cocktail glass or Old Fashioned tumbler depending on the recipe. Also solo with lemon twist to appreciate herbal power. Works in dry Martini, Gibson or gin combinations where a dry vermouth with body and subtle grape sweetness is sought. Not a terrace vermouth for casual sipping: it shines at the author bar. Pairs with almonds, olives and salted appetisers. Very cold in mixology; tempered in tasting to value spiced persistence. For Vermutpedia, it fits classic and modern cocktail sessions where dry is protagonist with a Priorat stamp.
