Vault Coastal (Champagne & Oysters) – Dry Vermouth

Crisp, mineral and bracingly fresh – made for ice, tonic, or a properly good Martini.

Coastal is a dry vermouth built around an infusion of oyster shell, olive leaf and Amalfi lemon, blended with a base wine of English Bacchus and fresh foraged coastal botanicals.

It drinks like sea air and clean acidity: bright, savoury-leaning and incredibly refreshing.

Sustainability

Vault are big on doing things properly: their bottles are made from 100% post-consumer recycled glass (“wild flint”), with lightweight refill cans available to help keep bottles in use for longer (coming soon). They also use biodegradable labels, glass stoppers, a plastic-free plant-based tamper seal, recycled-cardboard postal packaging, and vacuum (cold) distillation to reduce energy and water use.

FAQs

Is this more “Martini” or “spritz” leaning? Very Martini-leaning: crisp, dry and mineral, but it’s also brilliant lengthened with tonic.

Do you actually taste “oyster”? Think saline minerality rather than seafood – subtle, savoury and refreshing.

What’s the easiest serve? Plenty of ice, a good stir, then either enjoy as-is or top with tonic.
