Jade Liqueurs is a company dedicated to fastidiously reproducing old-world recipes. This bottle uses hand-crafted stills purchased from Pernod, and its pale green product is peppery and warmly spicy. This is what absinthe is meant to taste like. Just like the French and the Americans, the Swiss lifted their century-long absinthe ban in the early s, and Artemisia-Bugnon distilleries began producing this crystal-clear absinthe based on a recipe.
Unlike many traditional absinthes, they recommend enjoying it without sugar. Its six-month stint in the barrel mellows the flavors and brings a warm, whiskey-like finish to the spirit. They distill all their spirits from scratch, and their absinthe uses 11 different natural botanicals with a hint of mint.
Owner Todd Leopold says that the pisco adds a "wonderful floral flavor" that makes a great backdrop for the botanical profile, which includes green anise with a "unique apple note," hyssop, melissa, and lemon balm.
The results are a muscular, big-bodied absinthe that unfolds with hefty doses of anise, blasts of fresh spearmint and some hints of white pepper. With recipe development from absinthe expert David Nathan-Maister author of the absinthe encyclopedia and a young entrepreneur from Austin, TX, the blanche is known as the gin-drinker's absinthe.
It even shares some of the same botanicals as its spirited cousin; juniper and bitter orange pounce forward from the sugar beet base, which, much like gin, is spiced up with coriander and angelica. The refreshing non-traditional absinthe doesn't feature prominent anise or wormwood, but still resembles absinthe at its core, representing a fun exploration of the boundaries of the style.
It tastes refreshing with tonic water and an orange peel. The producers start by making a house wine from honey and apples from an old family recipe, which they then distill into the base for the blanche absinthe. Botanical-wise, they replaced many of the usual woody and earthy herbs with "sweet, friendly flavors" like lavender, lemon verbena, and lemon balm.
The final results are outside the box in the best of ways; heavy pear brandy aromas introduce the flavor, which ends up tasting effortlessly light-bodied. An opening of subtle wood and tobacco shift into a breezy, bright smack of mint at mid-palate, then cools off into a clean, fresh finish.
Owner Brenton Engel set out make something totally different than other absinthes on the market, so he made a recipe based on neutral grain spirits spiced with anise seed, hints of juniper and coriander similar to the profile of their gin , then aged the batch in charred oak barrels for six months.
The results are completely unique. If un-aged absinthe makes for a great aperitif, Letherbee's Brun acts as a fantastic after-dinner drink. The aroma wafts with oak, orange, toffee and herbs, and the flavor features vanilla and oak from the aging process that mingle playfully with fennel and absinthe, creating an almost creamy, warming absinthe that feels perfect for chilly evenings.
