Type : Liqueur
ABV : 110
Producer : Absente
Country : United States
Size : 0
Description :

There was once no spirit more notorious than Absinthe. The so-called "Green Muse" was at the height of fashion with the café society of Paris during the early 20th century. Famous artists, writers and poets such as Hemingway, Picasso, Degas, Toulouse-Lautrec and Oscar Wilde all indulged in Absinthe until its production was banned in 1915. With the introduction of Absente, Absinthe Refined, a new era of enlightenment beckons.

The liqueur is distilled in France by Destilleries et Domaines de Provence from a maceration of botanicals. Absente derives its brilliant color and seductive flavor from a botanical mix that includes star anise, angelica, peppermint and wormwood; not the grande variety causing the initial ban, but with a less bitter and decidedly safer Southern wormwood, known as "petite Absinthe." The liqueur is bottled at 110-proof.
