Distiller Notes
Unique, golden/green hue. Slow forming louche with the addition of ice-water that develops suddenly into a thick milky finish with rich, golden green highlights. Wormwood and fennel develop on the nose with hints of coriander spice lifting above the meld of herbs. Full textured, rich, creamy mouth-feel with refreshing taste, substantial and complex aromas with marked fennel, coriander and wormwood notes.

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.
