In 1840, the philhellene King Otto moved the capital of Greece into Athens and Ioannis Vouher created the first Greek vermouth in his honor using wine from the Attica area infused with Greek herbs, rose petals and citrus fruit. Athenians kept Otto’s vermouth in their cellar and enjoyed it fresh, cool and straight as an aperitif. In 2016, a few steps away from Otto’s house, on the upper floor of a neoclassical building under the buzz of one of the top 50 bars of the world (THE CLUMSIES), a passionate team, led by owners Nikos Bakoulis and Vasilis Kyritsis, revived the great times of Athens Vermouth and crafted the first bottle of Otto’s Athens Vermouth. High quality Greek wine is infused with rose petals, wormwood, citrus fruit, olive leaves and herbs grown under the sun of Athens such as oregano and angelica, creating a uniquely Greek flavor.
