Trinity Absinthe Superieure

Trinity Absinthe Superieure Wine Details
Price:

Description: Trinity Absinthe is artisan distilled using traditional methods. What makes Trinity Absinthe genuine is its meticulously grown "Holy Trinity" of herbs: grande wormwood, anise, and fennel, hand selected with care to preserve the integrity of our Colorado terroir. Trinity Absinthe is often described as a more subtle, more feminine absinthe, and has been recognized by industry experts as an excellent absinthe for use in cocktails and food pairings because it is able to convey its presence without overpowering other flavors. Of course, many people prepare Trinity Absinthe with a traditional 4:1 ice-cold water drip. Trinity Absinthe is delicate, refreshing, and naturally sweet with hints of citrus and spice.

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.
