An essential ingredient to countless cocktails, "Bone White" Boissiere is appreciated for its floral and herbal aromas and dry palate. Infused with select botanicals, including elderflower, chamomile, iris and bitter orange peel, the prized original recipe developed in France in 1857, continues to be a closely guarded secret. Boissiere can also be enjoyed as an aperitif neat, over ice, garnished with a twist of lemon, or as a sophisticated long drink mixed with soda water, tonic or lemonade. The beautiful country surrounding Mt. Blanc was ruled for centuries by the Dukes of Savoy. In 1563 they moved their capital from Chambery in the north to Turin in the south. Following the 18th Century, these regions have been famous for the production of the finest "Bone White" Extra Dry Vermouth and a very special quality Sweet Vermouth. Since 1860, these counties, divided by Mt.Blanc, have been part of France to the north, and Italy to the south.
