Distiller Notes
Deep, well-infused amber green color. Unique, dark, under-forest and honey nose, smells of old memories. After ice-water is slowly added an intensely thick, yet reflective louche completely captures and reflects the undiluted green color on clouds. It is deeply perfumed with the wormwood, anise, and fennel, the Coriander brings warmth and chamomile balances its relaxing headiness. It is luxuriously thick, herbal, bitter-sweet and long on the palate. Very dominant in taste when mixed, Heritage Verte is best consumed slowly served via the traditional French Absinthe Drip method, or added to cocktails in well-considered dashes or rinses.

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.
