Description
Grande Absente is a traditional French absinthe with a strong alcohol content of 69% vol. that preserves the essence of the legendary "green fairy". Inspired by the original 19th century recipes, it is produced in Provence using classic methods and contains a careful selection of aromatic herbs and plants, including wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), aniseed, fennel and various alpine herbs.
Its bright green color and intense, herbal aroma make it a real highlight for absinthe lovers. In contrast to many modern interpretations, Grande Absente remains true to the historical absinthe style and impresses with its powerful spiciness and subtle bitterness. (automated translation)
Tasting notes:
Color: Bright emerald green.
Nose: Intense aroma of aniseed, fennel and wormwood with fine herbal notes and a subtle sweetness.
Taste: Complex and strong with dominant aniseed and fennel aromas, accompanied by a slight bitterness from the wormwood. Notes of lemon balm and mint lend freshness.
Finish: Long, spicy and slightly bitter with lingering herbal and licorice notes.
The Grande Absente is traditionally enjoyed after the classic absinthe ceremony: This involves pouring a small amount of absinthe into a glass, placing a perforated spoon with a lump of sugar on top and slowly letting ice-cold water drip over it until the absinthe takes on a milky, cloudy, opalescent color - this effect is known as the louche effect.
It is also ideal for cocktails such as Death in the Afternoon (with champagne) or the classic Sazerac, where it serves as an aromatic base. In culinary terms, it harmonizes particularly well with dark chocolate, spicy cheese or Mediterranean tapas, which complement its herbaceous aromas perfectly. An intense experience for connoisseurs who appreciate the authentic taste of real absinthe. (automated translation)
