Vermouth Barañano
Overall impression
Vermouth Barañano is the red vermouth from Licores Barañano (Amurrio, Álava), a family distillery with tradition since 1831. It starts from an inherited 1881 recipe — preserved in the house's century-old books — adapted after years of trials: traditional herb and botanical maceration on white wine for a complex, balanced profile, sweet on entry with a persistent bitter finish. The official sheet highlights wormwood, gentian, cardamom, cinnamon, clove, orange peel and lemon peel; commercial messaging also mentions chamomile, mint, juniper, tea, vanilla, muscat, citrus and raspberry. 91 Verema points and 92 Intervinos; distinct from ASTOBIZA VERMOUTH Extra Premium, bottled at the same facilities but owned by Bodega Astobiza (Okondo).

How to serve it
Chilled neat or on ice, with soda or tonic; base for Negroni, Americano or Spritz. The house positions it as a Basque aperitif vermouth for a large glass and shared table.
Production context
Made in Amurrio (Maskuribai industrial estate) by Licores Barañano through classic botanical maceration. 15% vol., 75 cl, screen-printed dark bottle. Red reference in the house vermouth range alongside Vermouth Blanco Barañano and the limited Vermouth Barañano Egurrez aged in ex-Islay whisky cask.
