Libertine Originale Absinthe (700ml)

Produced by the family-owned Devoille distillery, Libertine 55 contains a good dose of liquorice which comes through in the taste.

Tasting note: Bright emerald green. Generous anise and fresh liquorice strap opening is followed by hints of peppermint. Soft, sweet, lightish entry preludes a moderately hot attack and a tongue nipping, lip numbing finish. Closes dry and fresh with anise carrying the aftertaste. 55% Alc./Vol.

Other reviews… I really appreciate an absinthe that can be diluted this much, and still remain tasteful, at an alcoholic grade of only 55. It has a very specific personality, like the other Libertine products. Its quality/price ratio is compelling, making it an ideal choice for regular daily use or as a present. 55% Alc./Vol.
