Tasting note
Absente 55 is enjoyed by those in the know in the true tradition that involves a flame, sugar, water and absinthe… a ceremonial ritual that gives free rein to your imagination.
Absente 55 derives its bitterness from several of the aromatic plants of absinthe (Artémisia Absinthium). The thujone content is strictly regulated in line with legislation (extract from legislation).
The Absente 55 recipe, a blend of absinthe, aniseed flavours, mint and spices, gives it its incomparable colour and unexpected length of flavour.
Adapt to suit your mood and taste: serve using the traditional spoon method, onto crushed ice or, if you love your drinks strong, just serve it neat. With Absente 55 there are no rules.
How do you drink it?
- You can pour the Absente onto crushed ice or ice cubes.
- If you like strong drinks then you can drink it neat.
- If you prefer it slightly bitter and less sweet, simply add fresh water to your Absente.
- Those nostalgic for the past can practice the ritual of bygone days by placing a sugar cube onto an absinthe spoon placed on the rim of the glass and slowly pouring in the water until it melts the sugar and turns the Absente an opalescent green.
Absente can also be flambéed and added to cocktails.
Tasting Notes:
Colour: A beautiful light green with clear shiny glints of yellow.
Nose: A subtle aroma of absinthe blended with anise, mint and spices.
Palate: Round aniseed attack moving onto a well-structured feel thanks to the presence of the amoise, finishing with the fresh, spicy notes (absinthe, lemon balm and mint) which give Absente its length of flavour
Storage: at room temperature, not above 25°C or keep chilled. Store the bottle upright. No use-by date.
