Does ANYONE know where I can find more of the pre-2009 American-Recipe Noilly Prat "Original Dry Vermouth"??
In January 2009, Noilly Prat STOPPED making the vermouth that has been THE go-to vermouth for Dry Martini's for some 60 years.
Just search "Noilly Prat Wall Street Journal" or see the article here:

The new version is SO bad, my local Wine Shop has stopped carrying it.
THAT is how much this niche Martini-group dislikes it.
I have emailed Noilly Prat several times and received nothing back, nothing.
Really sad that they have chosen to isolate this market, however small.
I am looking for the "American" pre-2009, Paper label "Noilly Prat Original French Dry Vermouth".

(The bottle on the left is what it looks like, NOT the New one on the right)
I have tried nearly every other Vermouth out there and nothing is the same.
If you know where I can buy it or a good alternative please let me know.
I have tried Boissiere, Gallo, Stock, Martini & Rossi, Dolin. None of them come close to the good stuff.
Any help is appreciated.
