Red Absinthe

Red Absinthe Wine Details
Price:

Description: We’ve started with traditional 1800's recipes and herbs to give our absinthe superieure the clean notes of a classic blanche. Then we tweak with the unusual, including citrus, tarragon (Dragon Wormwood, a relative of the Grand Wormwood we use), and red Hibiscus for floral tones and color. We’re pleased to share this unique result with you. Style Clean, Fresh, Floral. Tweaked Tradition.

Varietal Definition
Absinthe:
Absinthe (ab-sinth) is historically described as a distilled, highly alcoholic (45–74% ABV) beverage. It is an anise-flavoured spirit derived from herbs, including the flowers and leaves of the herb Artemisia absinthium, commonly referred to as "grande wormwood". Absinthe traditionally has a natural green colour but can also be colourless. It is commonly referred to in historical literature as "la fée verte" (the Green Fairy). Although it is sometimes mistakenly called a liqueur, absinthe is not bottled with added sugar and is therefore classified as a spirit.Absinthe is unusual among spirits in that it is bottled at a very high proof but is normally diluted with water when consumed.
