Overall impression

Miró Casero is the popular, accessible range of Vermuts Miró (Emilio Miró Salvat S.A.) in Reus, the historic birthplace of Catalan vermouth, according to vermutmiro.com. Traditional recipe with local country wines and natural herbs, classic production method; a more domestic and everyday profile within the broad Miró catalogue — Rosso 75 cl, Bianco, Reserva, Gran Reserva, etc. Earthy red colour with ruby highlights, limpid and bright; oregano, mint and caramel on the nose; frank and approachable on the palate with a pleasant and lingering sensation. 15% vol., 1.5-litre bottle and 5 L Bag in Box for home and hospitality use. For Vermutpedia, it represents the Reus litre-and-a-half vermouth: traditional, accessible, designed for terraces and the home, consistent with the official Miró product sheet at vermutmiro.com.

How to serve it

Cold with ice and orange for home and terrace use — the natural habitat of the Casero. Ideal in a wide glass, afternoon aperitif with olives and tapas; also in simple mixed drinks where the semisweet-herbal profile does its job without gourmet pretensions. The 5 L Bag in Box suits bars and events with high consumption. Temperature between 8 and 10 °C. No balloon glass or elaborate garnish required: it is a litre-format sharing vermouth. Pairs with preserved foods, cured meats, cheeses and Catalan snacks. For Vermutpedia, Miró Casero is terrace-and-home vermouth: cold, ice, orange, in 1.5 L format per the official sheet.
