Vieux Pontarlier (pronounced 'View Pon-tarr-lee-ay') Absinthe Française Supérieure is carefully crafted in small batches using alambic stills that were specifically designed to make absinthe. This historic spirit is distilled using locally grown wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), which is considered the finest in the world, along with green anise seed, Provençal fennel seed and a variety of additional aromatic herbs and spices. Faithful to the original formulations, there is no sweetening added of any kind - its refreshing taste is obtained entirely from the combination of plants and the distiller's skills.

Fine, medium peridot green color. Gradually forming louche, milky with opalescent reflections. Aroma initially of bright anise, developing heady, alpine herbs, with savory, mentholated wormwood notes. Intitial taste is intense and spicily piquant, with round, herbal flavors cradling the wormwood and a long, refreshing, cooling finish of anise and fennel seed.



David Wondrich, Spirits Expert, as quoted in Esquire magazine: "An absolutely classic French absinthe. As good as it gets."
F. Paul Pacult, founder/editor of The Spirit Journal, the world's most quoted publication on spirits, beer, and fortified wines: "The Gold Standard for the Absinthe catagory."

Absinthe Doubs Mystique

Quantity:

Price (excluding VAT at 20%): £43.27
Convert: USD | Other
(£51.92 Including VAT at 20%)

50cl 65% abv (130 proof)

Winner of Gold Medal and Best in Class at the 2008 International Wine and Spirits Competition

Doubs Mystique "Carte d'or" is a superb ultra-premium absinthe distilled in century old alambics in Pontarlier, in the heart of the Doubs region of eastern France, the historical home of absinthe.
It's a modern absinthe, to please the modern palate, although one that pays homage to the recipes and methods of the past. No other modern absinthe has as extensive a herb bill - the secret of Mystique's richness, smoothness and remarkable complexity of aroma and flavour.

All the herbs - including of course the grande absinthe - that could be sourced from the Pontarlier region were sourced locally. Enormous effort was expended on herb selection, and preparation. The youngest distillations in the final blend are at least 6 months old, the oldest more than a year old, and this balance will be maintained in future production.

Perroquet absinthe

(£65.79 Including VAT at 20%)

70cl 72% abv

Absinthe Perroquet (the parrot) was first conceived in July 2009 and after several trials and adjustments, a distiller's proof of 50 litres was bottled in August 2009. Having perfected the recipe, the absinthe was distilled in September 2009 and put into vats before bottling, and part of the batch was placed in oak casks to mature further. The absinthe was finally released in April 2010 after seven months maturation.

The lastest batch of Perroquet absinthe is carefully distilled in centenry old alambics according to historic procedures. Wine alcohol (as used for the greatest absinthes of the 19th century), green anise, fennel, wormwood and other natural herbs contribute to the refined taste of the Perroquet. Its colour is obtained from a maceration of hyssop, petite wormwood and melissa.

Absinthe Roquette - 1797

Quantity:

Convert: USD | Other
(£63.02 Including VAT at 20%)

70cl 68% abv (150 proof)

Roquette 1797 is a complex and spicy absinthe, based directly on a late 18th century manuscript recipe. It represents the first serious attempt in the modern era to recreate an absinthe from the very birth of absinthe, when the drink straddled the line between liquor and potion, when it was as much magical and mysterious elixir as fashionable aperitif.

Roquette contains the classic trinity of anise, fennel and grande wormwood, together with several other herbs, some of which will be found in no other commercially available absinthe. The absinthe is batch distilled at the Pernot fils distillery in Pontarlier in an antique alambic, and is available in only very limited quantities.

Un Emile 68 absinthe

Quantity:

Convert: USD | Other
(£51.17 Including VAT at 20%)

70 cl 68% abv (136 proof)

Un Emile 68 Verte is a premium absinthe traditionally made to a 19th century recipe by steeping Grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), green anise and other plants in alcohol and distilling the macerated charge in an absinthe still. The colour is achieved naturally by soaking plants in the distillate. No star anise is used, which was typical of the traditional Pontarlier absinthe recipes. To best appreciate the complex flavours and louche, it must be properly served by slowly dripping cold water into it, as should all the absinthes from the Emile Pernot distillery.

(£51.17 Including VAT at 20%)

70 cl 68% abv (136 proof)

Un Emile 68 Sapin has a unique flavour derived from the inclusion of pine (sapin) buds in a 20+ plant distillate which has been blended with the traditional Un Emile absinthe. Absolutely unique, it will please any lover of the atmosphere of the Great White North!

Serving suggestion: In a blender, add 1 1/2 ounces Un Emile Sapin and 1 1/2 ounces of orgeat (almond) syrup to a handful of ice, mix until smooth and grate a dash of nutmeg on top for an exciting egg-nog alternative!

White Fairy absinthe

(£50.42 Including VAT at 20%)

70cl 60%abv (120 proof)

White Fairy is an absinthe blanche developed by Liqueurs de France and produced by the Emile Pernot distillery. This absinthe is released at 60% alcohol, which, we discovered, allows its delicate aromas to be less hindered by a high alcohol punch. As such, it also comes closer to the style and alcohol content found in Swiss 'La Bleue', which is typically between 50 - 60 %, but White Fairy uses no star anise, thus minimizing the 'licorice-like' taste.

We have found it to be one of the most 'cocktail friendly' absinthe we know of: White Fairy can be used as an interesting substitution in many your favourite recipes, especially mint juleps and mojitos!
