Overall impression

Vermú Flor de Ambel is the red vermouth of Anís Flor de Murcia (Cehegín, Murcia), a family distillery since 1870 founded by Francisco Lorencio Agudo. Part of a catalogue of artisan liqueurs — anise, gin, mint — with natural distillation processes passed generation to generation. A Murcian vermouth reference with regional identity distinct from Vermuttino Parrato 0.0 alcohol-free from the same area. For Vermutpedia, it represents inland Murcia's traditional distillery vermouth: floral, herbaceous and accessible, verifiable through Flor de Murcia channels.

Nose and palate

Intense, complex and bitter per Riscales: herb and spice notes, balanced and smooth, with a very characteristic floral aroma. Inland Mediterranean Murcian profile; aromatised liqueur with spices at 15% vol. in 70 cl bottle (~€7.25 reference RRP). The floral note distinguishes it from generic Spanish reds; bitterness is present but softened by balance the distributor describes as smooth. Compared with wine-based vermouths, Flor de Ambel reads more as distillery craft — spice-forward, floral lift, moderate sweetness. The finish is herbal-floral with moderate persistence. For anyone mapping Murcian vermouth beyond wine bodegas, this profile offers a coherent tasting aligned with Riscales and regional distribution sheets.

How to serve it

Cold as aperitivo; fits Murcian vermouth culture and regional mixed drinks. Serve between 6 and 8 °C in wide glass or tumbler with ice; olive or simple citrus garnish suits the floral-herbal profile. Pairs with Murcian tapas, olives, cheese and informal terrace gatherings. Works in local combinations where anise-adjacent spice and floral aroma add character. At room temperature bitterness can dominate; refrigerate before serving. 70 cl format at accessible price point. Not built for heavy Negroni: its value is regional aperitivo simplicity. For Vermutpedia, Flor de Ambel is drunk cold as aperitivo, as Cehegín distillery vermouth within a 150-year liqueur tradition.

Production context

Made in Cehegín (Murcia) by Flor de Murcia S.L. 15% vol., 70 cl. Distillery with more than 150 years of history; Vermú Flor de Ambel as vermouth expression within the house's traditional range. Natural distillation heritage from anise and spirits catalogue. ~€7.25 reference RRP. For Vermutpedia, Flor de Ambel synthesises Flor de Murcia's artisan Murcian vermouth: spiced, semisweet, floral, verifiable at anisflordemurcia.es. A regional piece distinct from wine-bodega vermouths in the same province.
