Green Fairy Absinth The French absinthe ritual involves water fountains, sugar, spoons, and you pour the absinthe in the glass then put the spoon over the glass put a sugar cube on it and drip water from a purpose built fountain over until it louches (opalesces, turns cloudy, etc.) and the right amount of dilution (to personal taste-variable) is reached. Note this is the 40%ABV version

Detailed Description

Green Fairy Absinth 500mL 40% ABV

Absinth is gaining popularity at an astonishing rate and this is no surprise! When you first try Absinth you are assailed but an amazing blend of flavours ranging from sweet to bitter, spicy to mellow but overall dominated by aniseed. Absinthe is a formerly banned spirit drink that is made with Artemisia absinthium (wormwood) and other herbs. It is also known as la fée verte (the green fairy). During the 19th century absinthe became a very popular drink in central Europe, although it was eventually banned. After being illegal for many years, true absinthe is once again legal in many countries. And like any great spirit, there are many drinking rituals surrounding it. Try one, try all — just don't start seeing green.

Tasting Notes

First Impression: Wormwood and mint - hyssop, lemon balm alcohol is not as much in foreground as one might think at 120 proof. Sweetish and minty smell overall with traces of coriander and cubeb. Appearance: Clear, bright green color in bottle, more green blue in glass- On swirling, leaves a thin coat on the glass with scalloping and very thin legs developing. Louche is poor to nonexistent compared to a French Absinthe. Taste: Not overly complex- mint and wormwood, with a distinct midline bitter drying on the tongue. Hot, jalapeno-like finish.
