Meadowsweet. This ancient herb is in full swing, and forms a key part of our Vermouths flavour profile.
Used for centuries for it's incredible fragrance, somewhere between vanilla, marzipan, honey and hay. It's been used to sweeten mead (hence the name), and in 1897 it was used to synthesize Aspirin.
Best picked on a sunny day at the start of summer, much like elderflower you need to smell every flower you pick, there's a huge difference in smell between flowers and quality control is everything!
