What is Absinthe?
Nicknamed the "Green Fairy" for its distinctive color, absinthe is an aniseed-flavored spirit that originated in Switzerland. Popularized in 19th-century France, it was cherished by artists and writers. Its unique taste and mind-altering effects sparked both fascination and controversy, leading to bans in several countries. Recently revived, it now exists in both traditional and modern versions, celebrated for its rich history and ties to the artistic world.
This spirit is distilled from plants such as mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris), green anise, and fennel, with a place of honor reserved for grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). These botanicals give it a complex, bitter flavor, dominated by notes of anise, fennel, and wormwood.
Absente absinthe: An exceptional artisanal liqueur
Absente absinthe is a unique liqueur, made from carefully selected ingredients, and distinguished by its refined taste and perfectly controlled thujone content. The ingredients, macerated and/or distilled separately, are then blended to create a perfect aromatic balance. With an alcohol content of 55°, Absente absinthe offers a beautiful harmony between bitterness and complex aromas.
A Unique Aromatic Bouquet
Absente absinthe is the fruit of a subtle blend of mugwort, green anise, wormwood, lemon balm, peppermint and star anise, macerated and/or distilled separately to create an incomparable harmony of flavor.
- Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris): Infusion and alcoholate of mugwort add herbaceous notes and aromatic depth.
- Green anise (Pimpinella anisum): Green anise alcoholate lends a characteristic aniseed sweetness.
- Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium): Wormwood alcoholate and essence provide a subtle bitterness and aromatic richness.
- Lemon balm (Melissa officinalis): Lemon balm alcoholate adds fresh, lemony notes.
- Peppermint (Mentha piperita folia): Mint alcoholate adds invigorating freshness.
- Badian (Illicium verum): Badian anethole completes the aromatic profile with aniseed notes.
