Master of Malt
‘This week’s cocktail couldn’t be simpler, all you need is the finest rum you can get your hands on and some excellent sweet vermouth like the recently-landed Agora Rosso which comes from Suffolk.’

Decanter
‘Super-smooth and very vinous; black cherry fruit and dark spices plus the signature wormwood note.’

Winebound
‘On the palate, Agora rosso has a nice density, which excites your taste buds with layers and layers of flavours. The various ingredients are beautifully integrated and a joy to distinguish, sip after sip.’

Drinks International
‘Arthur Voulgaris has produced a rosso vermouth from Merlot and Cabernet grapes in rural Suffolk, close to the banks of the River Deben. He is also working on a white vermouth, and he hopes to breathe new life into the category.’

The Bar Hopper
‘The blend, which is zesty, aromatic and plummy at first, is rested for two to three weeks in stainless-steel tanks to marry the ingredients and provide more depth and intensity before being bottled at 16% ABV.’

Skin + Pulp
‘A generous and soft palate, which is gently spiced with a very subtle bitterness on the finish. It has flavours of aniseed, mandarin and cedar, with seductive notes of rose and lavender. There’s a voluptuous richness, too; caramel and coffee. You wouldn’t guess it was 16% ABV, beautifully balanced as it is.’
