Boissiere

With a rich history and unique recipe, Boissiere (BWA-see-air) Vermouth is an essential ingredient in countless cocktails, beloved for its floral and herbal aromas and refined palate.

Boissiere Vermouth was originally produced in Chambery, France, the northern part of the cultural-historical Savoy region surrounding Mount Blanc in the Western Alps. The prized original recipe — a proprietary blend of wine-based distillate infused with select botanicals sourced from France and Italy — has gone unchanged since 1857 and remains a closely guarded secret.

In 1971, in need of a new home for production, Boissiere Vermouth moved to the southern side of Mount Blanc, to the Italian town of Turin, adding a wonderful twist to the traditional history of Vermouth. Both Chambery and Turin were ancient capitals of the Savoy region, where Vermouth originated — thus, Boissiere Vermouth can claim both capitals of Vermouth as its home.

The two styles of Boissiere Vermouth, Extra Dry and Sweet, have earned 90+ point ratings from Wine Enthusiast, the New York International Spirits Competition, and the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, among others. They are sophisticated and complex enough to be enjoyed as an aperitif, neat, or on the rocks. However, they are also a wonderful complement to classic and contemporary cocktails — the Extra Dry is an excellent match to make the perfect gin or vodka Martini or Gibson, while the Sweet Vermouth is perfect in a Manhattan or Negroni.
