Upcoming Tastings

Absinthe is a botanical spirit distilled with grand wormwood, green anise and fennel seed, also known as the holy trinity of absinthe. In addition to these three, each distiller can use their own blend of botanicals to achieve the unique flavour profile they are after. Traditional absinthe is a spirit, not a liqueur. No sugar should be added when bottled. All distilled absinthes start clear. In order to create a green style of absinthe, this distillate is then infused with a new mix of botanicals to get its natural colour from the chlorophyll.

Absinthe was banned for nearly a century in many countries around the world. It is the only spirit ever singled out in a prohibition of this kind. It was never made illegal in the UK, which meant that many of the great classic cocktails to come from Britain during the 1920s and 30s called for absinthe in their recipes. Modern science finally caught up and disproved the 19th century theories that originally had it banned and regulations were changed around the world to finally make absinthe legal again.

Absinthe is not and never was hallucinogenic.
