Distiller Notes
Enjoy in the composition of elegant & imaginative cocktails or be seduced by the classic absinthe preparation ritual. Alembic distillation. Small batch distillation. Non-chill filtered. No post distillation, addition of flavors, colors, sugar, or synthetic chemicals. Double distillation of superior, highly aromatic wine using Vendome copper potstills. An authentic, handcrafted distillation of classic absinthe botanicals – artemisia absinthium, anis, fennel, etc., accented with select aromatics. Non-chill filtered for an authentic uncorrupted natural flavor. Some cloudiness may be apparent at colder temperatures.
Herbaceous, pastoral, with an authentic nose. Subtle, with a harmonious layering of signature absinthe notes; grande wormwood, sweet fennel and licorice. Smooth, mellow finish. Beautiful louche.

Enjoyed for hundreds of years in Europe as a restorative and cure for many types of maladies, Absinthe reached its peak popularity in late 19th and early 20th century Parisian bars and cafés where it was a favorite of Hemingway, Joyce, Van Gogh and Picasso. Similar to Gin, Absinthe is a neutral, high proof spirit (110 to 144) infused with a variety of herbs and botanicals. These typically include green anise, sweet fennel and grand wormwood. Absinthe is most often light green in color but can also be clear.
