Introduction to Pretty Blanc Floral Vermouth
Pretty Blanc Floral Vermouth is made using Elderflower and lemon peel, vanilla, and chamomile mash to make a delicious sweet white drink. The vermouth BroVo is a line of floral vermouths created by Amanda Reed and George Engelstadt.
The vermouths are all made with different combinations of botanicals, and they can be enjoyed on their own or mixed into cocktails. The first vermouth in their line is the Elderflower and Lemon Peel Pretty.
It starts with Pinot Gris wine from the Wahluke Slope. It had a delicate floral flavor that was well balanced by the other botanicals. Then we add vanilla bean, cardamom, elderflower, chamomile, lemon peel, comfrey, and angelica.
The last stage is a sweetening to about 6% sugar with agave nectar. It was made by a collaboration between Amanda Reed and George Engelstadt, both from Seattle.
History of BroVo vermouth
Amanda Reed and George Engelstadt have been friends and business partners since their days at art school in Seattle in 2010. They have worked creatively together ever since.
When George proposed the idea of making a floral vermouth to Amanda, she jumped at the chance to make something new.
The two brainstormed different botanicals, and soon they had a list of 15 or 20 to choose from. They narrowed the list down to the ones that were the most practical and that they thought would taste the best.
They were also mindful of how much each botanical was going to cost to buy. In addition to the cost, they also had to consider how easy each botanical was to grow. After narrowing the list of botanicals down, they started reading about each one and researching how best to grow them.
My experience with the BroVo Vermouths
I have been exploring the world of vermouths for the last year and a half. I have about 12 bottles in my home bar and about another dozen on my online wish list.
My first was Caro which I bought at the French Market. Then I bought a bottle of Torino Vermouth di Torino. I also tried the proprietary version from Death’s Door, Chinato, and Stoic & Sound.
I used to be one of those people who thought they all tasted the same. I also thought vermouth was just a wine that was used to make martinis.
I didn’t really understand how complex and flavorful vermouths are. I didn’t realize how many different kinds there were and how they can be used in a lot of different ways.
I was ignorant about vermouth but I am no longer ignorant. I have since learned about vermouth and that is why I am writing this blog post.
