PAUL’S VERMOUTH
Ballor Vermouth is produced by mixing wine with an extract made from a blend of herbs, including the most distinctive wormwoods, spices and other natural plant-based compounds. Every batch has its timings, which are expertly followed and controlled by the Master Blender. When the desired level of aromatic complexity and the correct balance of all the ingredients are achieved, the Master Blender authorises the bottling of a surprisingly fabulous liqueur.
