ULTRA PREMIUM AUTHENTIC ABSINTHE BITTER LIQUEUR

Grande Absente 69, the modern, provocative "green fairy" which inspires the contemporary art scene, embodies all that is spiritual and anti-establishment. Hand-crafted at the Distilleries et Domaines in Provence like it was in 1860, and matching the original traditional recipes, the Grande Absente 69 is made with more absinth, less sugar. All eyes will be instantly captivated thanks to its clear and shiny light green colour with yellow undertones. Absinth infusions and essences, mugwort and star anise, aniseed alcohol, balm and mints lend Grande Absente its special bitter flavour. 

Remember, Grande Absente is a traditional French 'Verte' absinthe recipe at 138 proof (69% ABV), so please drink with caution.

Perfect Serve: Grande Absente will awaken your thirst for forbidden flavours as you perform the legendary ritual: gently pour iced water over a sugar cube perched on an absinthe spoon atop a glass. Watch as the absinthe clouds in the glass and assumes its broody iridescent hue... Then, even before taking your first sip, breathe in the aromas and fragrances of aniseed, mint and spices that accompany the essence of the absinthe plant.

About Absinthe: Nicknamed "green fairy" and banned in 1915, it was authorised again in 1988. It is only in 2011 that its level of thujone (molecule present in the plant which, in strong doses, was supposed to make one mad) is fixed at a maximum of 35 mg/kg. Very appreciated for its taste of absinthe and its green reflections, this alcohol seduced many artists like Van Gogh, Baudelaire, Toulouse-Lautrec, Picasso, Oscar Wilde. The famous tasting ritual is still practiced according to the tradition, by pouring water on the absinthe, through a flat perforated spoon holding a sugar cube.
