Yzaguirre Reserva Dry Vermouth Balcones Baby Blue Rhum Barbancourt Reserve Speciale promisesYzaguirre's Dry Reserva starts from an unusually practical grape choice: Macabeu, a Spanish white variety prized for its resistance to oxidation, which makes it a natural fit for a vermouth meant to age. Produced at the Celler Sort del Castell winery between Reus and Tarragona, this one spends a full year resting specifically in fino sherry casks a detail most retailers gloss over as simply "oak barrels," but one that shows up clearly in the glass.
