A classic red vermouth created by Carpano all the way back in 1870, Punt E Mes was actually named after a… stock broking term? Punt E Mes translates to ‘a point and a half’, and at the end of a day stock brokers would enter the Carpano bar and ask for exactly that (but this also happened on a day when key stocks had fallen by one and a half points). So, the link was made and the drink was named as such after they all had a good laugh about it (we assume). The vermouth contains quinine, which adds to the lovely bitterness, alongside 10 other herbs and spices. The result is a superbly balanced and herbal flavour. A great addition to many a cocktail.
Nose: Aromatic with cinnamon, a hint of smoky tobacco, Christmas tree in a warm room and Christmas spices.
Palate: Bittersweet with lightly syrupy honeyed notes, stewed fruit including: damson, sloes, cherries, prunes, vanilla, cinnamon, tobacco, a touch of red pepper, bitter cranberry and orange zest.
Finish: Round fruity finish with well-judged bitter tannins.
