Otto’s Athens Vermouth is one of those drinks that invites you to slow down.
The nose is rich and layered. Wormwood takes the lead immediately, giving the vermouth its unmistakable character. As it opens, notes of thyme emerge, followed by a gentle hint of black pepper that adds a subtle spicy lift.
The palate is sweet without feeling heavy. Herbal and spicy notes are beautifully balanced, with no single element overpowering the others. The wormwood contributes a refined bitterness, while the thyme brings warmth and a distinctly Mediterranean character.
The finish is long, gently warming, and pleasantly herbal, leaving behind an elegant bittersweet impression.
This is a vermouth that feels equally at home as an aperitif before dinner or as a slow, reflective drink to close the evening.
Drink mood:
an open terrace, a warm Athenian evening, and a conversation that lingers long after the sun has gone down.
