Specific to the American market it was re-launched late in 2012.

Distillery Information

Noilly Prat (French pronunciation: ?[nwa.ji p?at]) is a brand of vermouth from France, owned by the Italian company Martini & Rossi. “White” Noilly Prat is the archetype of dry, straw-coloured French vermouth. Noilly Prat now makes Red and Ambre vermouths as well, introduced in the 1960s and 1980s, but they are less widely known. Noilly Prat Dry is 18% alcohol by volume. The Noilly Prat company is based in Marseillan, in the Hérault département of southern France, and is a subsidiary of Bacardi-Martini. Joseph Noilly, a herbalist, developed the first formula in 1813.
