Albourne Estate '40' Vermouth

Aromatic and complex, this English vermouth shows notes of orange peel, clove, cinnamon, and herbs lifted by a thread of fresh citrus. On the palate it is rich yet balanced, with layers of dried fruit, warming spice, and bitter-sweet botanicals wrapped around a core of Sussex wine. Its deep amber colour mirrors its intensity, while the finish is long, spiced, and gently bittersweet — ideal for both sipping and mixing.

Crafted by Albourne Estate in West Sussex, ‘40’ takes its name from the forty botanicals used in its infusion, including locally foraged herbs and fruits. Built on a base of estate-grown wine, it captures both regional identity and international vermouth tradition. Equally at home served neat over ice with an orange twist, or as a key ingredient in cocktails such as Negronis and Manhattans, it represents a distinctive English take on a classic European style.
