Distilleries de Provence Grande Absente 69 Absinthe (700ml)

An absinth contiaining 35mg of Thujone. Nosing reveals powerful aromas of star anise and fresh fennel over more herbaceous notes including sage. Deceptively delicate on entry, the palate crescendos into an intense, bittersweet and slightly numbing experience, dominated by liquorice, becoming drier as the heat dies down, but overall well balanced at this high ABV. Concludes with a burst of fresh liquorice strap followed by a subtle spearmint / liquorice fade. A fat, full-throttle style that will appeal to the young and adventurous more so than serious absinthe devotees. 69% Alc./Vol.
