COMOZ FRANCE The C. Comoz Vermouth Blanc dates back to the late 19th century when Claudius Comoz, son of house-founder Jean Pierre Comoz, is credited with inventing the vermouth blanc style. The aromatized wine went on to enjoy great popularity, including being the essential vermouth in Cuba’s classic El Presidente cocktail. Comoz Vermouth Blanc 32PF / 750ML Comoz is less sweet than other vermouth blanc, with notes of stone fruits, alpine flowers and a deep, resonant undercurrent of wormwood. This deeper profile marries with whiskey better than any other pale vermouth.
