Vermut Dos Déus
Vermouth is said to have been invented by Hippocrates, a celebrated doctor from Ancient Greece who was born in 460 BC. Inspired by this historic legacy, Vermut Dos Déus represents a sublime fusion between classic and contemporary culture, between the traditional and the modern, blending old recipes with innovative concepts that are as different as day and night.
Dos Déus: the vermouth of Priorat
Dos Déus has made its home in the enchanting Bellmunt del Priorat region, famous for its long wine-making tradition that can be traced back to the arrival of Carthusian monks in the 12th century, and its vermouth is a true balsam that perfectly captures the essence of the land. Since its launch in 2012, just before the vermouth boom, Priorat B&D has redefined the art of macerating and distilling, skills inherited from the monks and their ancient search for the “elixir of eternal life”.
Dos Déus is more than just a drink, it’s a celebration of this inheritance and innovation. It is exclusively made from wines selected from the local area and contains a precise combination of 47 herbs and spices. Each ingredient is carefully chosen to ensure that the final product is both delicious and an authentic reflection of the Priorat landscape. Being aged in Jerez sherry barrels for at least three years enriches Dos Déus with complex sherry and spiced notes, created a round, harmonious flavour that evokes the traditions of its land.
However, the Priorat B&D team doesn’t only used traditional barrels and is excited to explore different types of wood, including American oak and historic Scala Dei barrels. This journey has led to the creation of Dos Déus Origins, a range that stands out for using a variety of grapes and barrels, giving each version a unique character. The range includes an intriguingly complex red vermouth, a sweet white made with muscatel grapes for extra freshness and elegance, and a dry white that is perfect for cocktail-making thanks to its volume and strength.
The brand continues to innovate with bold creations such as Dos Déus DIP smoked vermouth, inspired by Islay Scotch whiskey. This drink is a masterpiece of the toasting technique, combining coal and organic peat smoke with Priorat wines that are aged in extra-toasted American oak barrels, giving it a robust and complex flavour with smoky, caramelized notes.
The story of Vermut Dos Déus is testament to the way tradition and modernity can be seamlessly blended together. Its vermouth pays tribute to the rich history of the Priorat region and is also a benchmark for innovation and excellence in the vermouth world. Each sip invites bon vivants to explore the depths of its flavour and celebrate the land where it was born.
