Badenhorst Caperitif 'Kaapse Dief' Vermouth 750ml
DOZEN: $583.20 or $48.60 each
A century later classic Danish mixologist, Lars Lyndgaard met Adi the two took to recreating this once famous 'Cape Apertif' as it was known. Caperitif is handcrafted by infusing Chenin Blanc with the flavours and aromas of some 35 natural botanicals, many of which are unique to the insane biodiversity of the Cape Floral Kingdom.
These are made in batch lots with each batch being subsequently labeled L1, L2... and so on, and so on. Bitter grapefruit, crushed grapes with a gentle quinine bitterness on the nose and palate.Thyme and citrus flood the palate and there is a gentle, spicy warmth with a hint of cinnamon and star-anise. Sweet and citrusy that leads to a persistent and pleasantly bitter finish. This is definitely a beast of it's own and sits somewhere between a Lillet-esk vermouth with a warm southern feel.
