This absinthe is crafted with grand wormwood, anise, fennel, hyssop and lemon balm, through classic maceration and distillation, reviving the original recipe after absinthe's long ban.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eClear with a greenish tint, it louches to opal with cold water. The nose is a rich herbal bouquet of anise, fennel, wormwood, hyssop and mint. The palate is complex and layered, first dry then gently sweet, with liquorice, sage, mace and faint citrus, and the finish is long and elegant, with lingering herbal bitterness and subtle spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA true French classic, it makes a fine gift for cocktail lovers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrepare it the French way: one part absinthe, three to five parts iced water poured over a sugar cube on a slotted spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePontarlier, in the Doubs region near the Swiss border, was the heart of French absinthe production in the nineteenth century, when the drink was the toast of Paris café culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe louche is the cloudy, opalescent effect that appears when cold water is added: the botanical oils, held in solution by the high alcohol, come out of suspension and open up the aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbsinthe is a key ingredient in classic cocktails such as the Sazerac, where a rinse of the glass adds an aromatic anise lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anise, fennel, wormwood, hyssop and mint.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Liquorice, sage, mace and faint citrus.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long, with herbal bitterness.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProducer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pernod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Absinthe Supérieure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanicals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grand wormwood, anise, fennel, hyssop, lemon balm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 136 proof (68% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pontarlier, France\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 750ml\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Enjoy It\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eServe it the French way, diluted with three to five parts iced water over a sugar cube, or in a Sazerac or Death in the Afternoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I serve it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne part absinthe to three to five parts iced water, poured over a sugar cube on a slotted spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes it contain artificial colour?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. It is coloured naturally by its botanicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat strength is it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e136 proof, 68% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExplore more in our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/liqueur-more\"\u003eLiqueur \u0026amp; More collection\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pernod","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68023418650933,"sku":"VWS_4309","price":86.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/7367\/8901\/files\/noir-gold-main-10623.webp?v=1793655725","url":"https:\/\/hiddencasks.com\/products\/pernod-absinthe-superieure-136-proof-750ml","provider":"Hidden Casks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
