A British vermouth, the first from Scotland, proudly comes from here at Rosebery Estates. Introducing Wermod Great British Vermouth™.
Wermod Great British Vermouth ™ – An award-winning rural enterprise
Scotland is well known for whisky – but that is not the only delicious drink our country produces. We are proud that the very first vermouth to be made in Scotland comes from Dalmeny Estate.
Launched in 2017, Wermod won Gold at the 2018 World Vermouth Awards. Not bad for a newcomer!
Wermod Great British Vermouth™ is the brainchild of Michael Kaplan and Hamish Martin (founder of the Secret Herb Garden near Edinburgh). Together, they have taken vermouth back to its roots to capture the wonderful diversity of the countryside.

Scottish-sourced vermouth – lovingly crafted
Wermod is lovingly crafted and very locally sourced, aiming to distil the unique spirit of Dalmeny.
The Estate is blessed with a wonderful variety of wild and cultivated botanicals. Indeed, Dalmeny’s herbal heritage dates back nearly a thousand years, to the days of Queen Margaret.
The recipe features 24 herbs, roots and flowers, all naturally and sustainably grown in The Walled Garden on Dalmeny Estate.
Delightfully dry, Wermod is hand-produced in small batches. Its botanicals are cold-infused in British wine and spirit to preserve all of the delicate flavours. There are no added sweeteners, artificial colours or additives.
The result is a complex and harmonious aperitif. Its long and balanced flavour profile is floral, citrusy, freshly herbal, and with the warm bitter notes of wormwood, hyssop, and yarrow.
Enjoy Wermod Great British Vermouth™ as a guest of Barnbougle Castle
Guests at Barnbougle Castle can enjoy Wermod as a chilled apéritif, refreshing spritzer, or a warming winter mix with cassis or other fruit liqueur. On its own, it wonderfully complements the best in Scottish seafood and charcuterie. It’s also an ideal partner for great British gins in the perfect Dry Martini.
