Absente Absinthe With Absinthe Spoon

This is a French absinthe bottled at 55% ABV (110 proof), and it arrives with an absinthe spoon, so the traditional ritual is ready from the first pour. The profile rests on a classic trio: wormwood brings a pleasant bitterness, anise adds licorice-like sweetness, and fresh mint gives a bright, cooling lift, with hints of fennel and other botanicals filling in the middle. The finish is long, moving from herbal anise toward a lingering minty freshness. It suits the curious drinker trying absinthe for the first time, since the spoon, a sugar cube and ice-cold water are all you need to watch it louche into a milky, opalescent green. It also suits the home bartender who wants herbal depth in a Sazerac or a Corpse Reviver No. 2. We carry it because it offers a modern interpretation of the Belle Époque Green Fairy experience in one package, with enough strength to take generous dilution and enough character to reward a slow, patient pour.
