Unveiling the Depths of Flavour in a Waste-Conscious Vermouth

Discarded Sweet Cascara Vermouth is a prime example, boasting not only exceptional taste but also a commitment to reducing waste. This detailed tasting note delves into the unique character of this vermouth, offering serving suggestions to unlock its full potential.

A Sustainable Spirit with a Storied Past

Discarded Spirits, the makers behind this vermouth, champions a "waste not, want not" philosophy. Their hero ingredient? Cascara, the dried fruit of the coffee cherry. Traditionally discarded during coffee production, cascara boasts a rich flavour profile, making it the perfect heart of this innovative vermouth.

Aromatic Adventure: Unveiling the Nose

The first encounter with Discarded Sweet Cascara Vermouth is an aromatic adventure. Deep, rich notes instantly captivate the senses. Hints of dark chocolate intertwine with the unmistakable essence of coffee, creating a warm and inviting aroma. As you delve deeper, a burst of fruity sweetness emerges, reminiscent of cherries and sun-ripened strawberries. The complexity doesn't end there. Subtle whispers of red wine weave their way through, hinting at the fortified wine base that forms the backbone of this vermouth. A touch of cinnamon adds a final flourish, creating a truly captivating bouquet.

The Flavour Symphony: A Play on the Palate

The first sip of Discarded Sweet Cascara Vermouth is a revelation. The sweetness, hinted at in the aroma, unfolds on the palate. It's a rich sweetness, perfectly balanced by a pleasant bitterness, a signature characteristic of vermouth. The cascara shines through, delivering flavours of coffee and dark chocolate alongside an unexpected burst of red fruit. Juicy cherries and jammy strawberries dance on the tongue, their sweetness beautifully counterpointed by the earthiness of the coffee and the tannins from the red wine base. The lingering finish is long and satisfying, with a touch of cinnamon adding a warming spice note.
