Bloody Fine Negroni 200ml
“I think the Negroni is the perfect cocktail because it is three liquors that I don’t particularly like. I don’t like Campari, and I don’t like sweet vermouth and I don’t particularly love gin. But you put them together with that little bit of orange rind in a perfect setting… It’s just: It sets you up for dinner, in a way it makes you hungry, sands the edges off the afternoon. In an after dinner, it’s settling. It is both aperitif and digestive. It’s a rare drink that can do that" - Anthony Bourdain
Our third collaboration with our friends at local distillery Juno is the synthesis of one of our core products: Bloody Vermouth and their core Gin, Extra Fine. Combined with a wine-based bitter aperitif we think this makes the perfect Negroni! With a hit of juniper, citrus and bitter chinotto on the nose, Bloody Negroni opens up with a lovely plush mid-palate and layers of bitterness, balanced sweetness and aromatics. Smooth and strong, the organic Syrah wine base of the vermouth softens the finish and makes you want to go back for more!
Bloody Fine Negroni is 25.5% ABV with each 200ml bottle containing 4 standard drinks.
"Made in the mighty Hawkes Bay from Syrah, local and imported oranges, bitter herbs and spices with adjuncts of spirit and sugar - leads to a bouquet of promised sweetness and dried herbs, some bitter appeal and plenty of intensity - there’s no mistaking this is a vermouth. On the palate, there’s a distinctive and equal measure of fruit, sweetness and bitterness, flavours of orange and spice, dark berries and coffee-like after taste and plenty of spice qualities. Balanced and well made." 91 Points - Cameron Douglas MS
