Corsair

To make our modern American take on this classic spirit, we started with traditional 1800’s recipes and herbs to give our Absinthe Superieure the clean notes of a classic blanche.  Then we tweaked it with the unusual, including citrus, tarragon (Dragon Wormwood, a relative of the Grand Wormwood), and Red Hibiscus for floral tones and its bright red color.

TASTING NOTES
Balanced aroma of hibiscus, wormwood and floral scents on the nose give way to a silky mouthfeel of pepper and floral notes that is balanced with a dry, long lasting finish.

La Clandestine

"La Clandestine: Handcrafted in the birthplace of absinthe to a moonshiner's 1935 recipe. Produced in 88 liter batches using local ingredients. The world's most loved "blanche"."

La Clandestine Absinthe Spord

Turning a beautiful milky white when water is added, La Clandestine marries the rich flavor of anise and fennel with the slight bitterness of wormwood. A variety of local botanicals add additional aromatics to this refreshing spirit.

La Clandestine Absinthe Superieure

La Muse Verte

This original family recipe from the early 1900s is the result of tedious research and the delicate blending of about eight plants, reminiscent in flavor and color of the original absinthe. The Grande Absinthe (wormwood) brings out the fresh bitterness, but it really is the secret blending with the other plants that gives a perfect balance between the bitterness, the alcohol and the aromas.

St. George

Real absinthe. No artificial ingredients, no gimmicks. The first legal American absinthe released after the U.S. ban was lifted in 2007, St. George Absinthe Verte remains one of the most acclaimed and respected spirits in this category. And it has a monkey on the label!

The Spirit

There’s a lot of hype and mystery surrounding absinthe, but the process itself isn’t really all that esoteric. The real art is in finding just the right ingredients and creating a symphony of flavor.

What’s in it?

Made from a host of real botanical ingredients, ours is a layered and evocative expression of this beguiling and highly spirituous herbal elixir.

We begin by infusing brandy with the unholy trinity of wormwood, fennel, and star anise. We then distill this infusion on our 1,500-liter copper pot still. After that, we perform a secondary infusion of mint, tarragon, opal basil, lemon balm, hyssop, and stinging nettles.

The secondary infusion is what gives absinthe color; just after the secondary infusion, our absinthe is an intense emerald green. By the time we bottle it and the bottle reaches you, the absinthe will have turned its characteristic feuille morte (dead leaf) hue due to chlorophyll from all the botanicals breaking down with time and exposure to light.

The Process

Distiller Lance Winters considers absinthe the pinnacle of the distiller’s art form. Why? Because creating a beautiful absinthe means taking a number of loud botanical ingredients and making them sing in harmony.

For us, it didn’t happen overnight.

While the U.S. ban was still in place, it was illegal to sell absinthe, but not to distill it. Commercial viability has never been what motivates us, so needless to say, we distilled a lot of absinthe during that period. In fact, it took Lance about 11 years to perfect his absinthe formula. When the American ban was overturned in 2007, we were ready.

Lines formed around the block and helicopters flew overhead when we released our first batch of Absinthe Verte, but today it's pretty easy to find.

The Experience

A heady, herbaceous smack to the senses. It opens with spicy black licorice and then slowly evolves into citrus and grass profiles with a dose of sarsaparilla. Because of the abundance of essential oils, it’s rich and viscous on the palate—even at 120 proof (60% alcohol).

To bring out another level of vivid flavors and a lovely louche (milky cloudiness) that seems to glow from within, a single large ice cube is ideal. Adding water further releases botanical oils into solution, deepening the louche and intensifying the heady, floral aroma.

We developed our formulation over years of patient experimentation and think it’s pretty much perfect just as it is. We don’t advocate adding sugar to our absinthe—or to any other artisanally distilled absinthe for that matter.

In cocktails that call for an anise spirit, St. George Absinthe Verte adds complexity and depth of flavor.

You won’t hallucinate when you drink our absinthe, but you might fall in love. Everyone else has.
