Veso Fishwife Anchovy Vermouth was debuted by the brand on April 1 seemingly as an April Fool's Day joke, but has been revealed as a real product that puts a decidedly savory spin on the classic spirit. The product features an 18% ABV and boasts the brand's high-quality vermouth along with the distinct flavor of Fishwife Cantabrian anchovies. The spirit is thus perfect for use in a wide range of cocktail recipes including the recommended Filthy Martini, the Grizzled Mariner and the Sea Smoke.
The brand commented on the Veso Fishwife Anchovy Vermouth saying, "This was a wild idea that we dreamed up, and we brought in our friends at Fishwife for their incredible Cantabrian anchovies from Spain. Those were infused (alongside some carefully chosen botanicals) into this vermouth for one of the most unique flavour profiles you’ve probably ever tasted. The natural umami of the fish can work in a variety of different cocktails, so don’t be afraid to experiment.”
