Waschisnais Celestial Limited Edition Artisan Vermouth

Waschisnais Celestial is the crown jewel of the Wachisnais artisan vermouth project — a semi-sweet, limited-edition release of just 780 bottles, making it one of the most singular vermouths in existence. Born from the shared passion of three friends for authenticity and craftsmanship, this extraordinary Spanish vermouth pushes the boundaries of what the category can achieve.

The production process is as remarkable as the liquid itself. A Tinto Fino base from the Ribera del Duero region is oak-aged for nine months before being blended — or coupage — with Rita Hetvin, a sweet liqueur wine with over six years of barrel ageing. The result is then infused with a hand-selected blend of 37 botanicals: wormwood, bitter orange and lemon peel, cardamom, sweet camomile, cinnamon, star anise, and many more, each contributing to a profile of staggering complexity.

On the nose, Celestial opens with an aromatic wave of eucalyptus, mint, and thyme, followed by fennel, anise, and liquorice, and brightened by bitter orange and grapefruit. Deeper notes of cinnamon, clove, sage-infused caramel, raisins, and dates emerge with time, creating a bouquet that is both medicinal and seductive. On the palate, the mouthfeel is luxuriously full yet surprisingly light on its feet — notes of cocoa butter, dark chocolate, and Amarena cherry unfold alongside a lingering citrus freshness. The balance between bitterness and sweetness is masterfully judged. The finish is long and sophisticated, with speculoos spice and warm ginger fading into a silky, clean texture.

Best served well chilled over a single ice cube with a twist of orange peel. Pairs beautifully with Iberian charcuterie, aged cheeses, dark chocolate desserts, or as a standalone aperitif. If you are looking to buy a truly collectible Spanish artisan vermouth online with European delivery, Waschisnais Celestial is a rare and unmissable find.
