LIBRARIAN'S VERDICT

The connoisseur's choice. It has more body and character than Dolin, adding a savory, saline depth to cocktails that is utterly unique.

The Library Note

Crafted in Marseillan by the Mediterranean sea, Noilly Prat barrels are aged outdoors, exposed to the elements and the sea air, creating a profile that has been the gold standard for Martinis since 1813.

Sommelier's Perspective

THE NOSE

Nutty and complex. Aromas of chamomile, floral honey, and a distinct sherry-like oxidation.

THE PALATE

Full-bodied and savory. Notes of yellow apple, elderflower, and damp wood, with a saline, nutty backbone.

THE FINISH

Long, complex, and drying.

Sensory Profile

THE PERFECT SERVE

On the rocks with a twist of lemon, or in a 'Wet Martini'. Its body allows it to stand up to stronger gins.
