I have no idea what it tastes like, but what a name. I am in the village where they make the stuff.

Who Are We?The Samizdata people are a bunch of sinister and heavily armed globalist illuminati who seek to infect the entire world with the values of personal liberty and several property. Amongst our many crimes is a sense of humour and the intermittent use of British spelling. We are also a varied group made up of social individualists, classical liberals, whigs, libertarians, extropians, futurists, ‘Porcupines’, Karl Popper fetishists, recovering neo-conservatives, crazed Ayn Rand worshipers, over-caffeinated Virginia Postrel devotees, witty Frédéric Bastiat wannabes, cypherpunks, minarchists, kritarchists and wild-eyed anarcho-capitalists from Britain, North America, Australia and Europe.

It is excellent Jonathan, I drink about three bottles of the stuff a year, mixed in very small quantities with either Bombay Sapphire gin or Snow Queen vodka it makes wonderful Dry Martini cocktails.
I always thought it was the only acceptable Dry Vermouth with which to make a Dry Martini used as Paul Coulam says in very small quantities on very very cold gin.
Agree though it’s a superb name especially when pronounced in the ‘English’ way.

Agree with both of the above. Also, an essential ingredient in the perfect “beurre blanc”
And where they make the stuff they do a particularly fine unique ‘amber’ Noilly Prat – well worth a visit to sample it.
Yes indeed, it really is far and way the best Vermouth for a gin martini. In fact it is a very handy thing to have a bottle of lying around. I use it in cooking—it is particularly good drizzled over fish in a papillotte. It also makes a lovely refreshing summer drink when mixed 1:2 with tonic and a twist of lime.
