Absinthe 55 - Absente

The Green Muse's Milder Cousin!

Absente 55 Absinthe, a contemporary twist on the classic 'Green Fairy', offers a gateway into the alluring world of absinthe.

While it might not fully capture the traditional absinthe experience, it's an accessible introduction for those new to this enigmatic spirit.

Made with neutral beet spirits and enhanced with a blend of herbs, including a variant of wormwood, Absente 55 presents a sweet and anise-dominated profile.

Absente 55 is a departure from the classic, intensely herbal absinthe. It offers a more subdued aroma and flavor, dominated by star anise. The sweet character of this liqueur, with its bright green color, offers a pleasant yet simple drinking experience. It's less about complexity and more about offering a straightforward, accessible taste.

Produced by Distilleries et Domaines de Provence, Absente 55 has been at the center of debates within the absinthe community. Originally made without traditional Grande Wormwood, it sparked discussions about what constitutes a 'true' absinthe. In recent times, it has incorporated Grande Wormwood, aligning more closely with traditional recipes.

Absente 55's mild flavor profile makes it suitable for those who prefer a less intense absinthe experience. It can be used in cocktails where a subtle anise flavor is desired without overpowering other ingredients. Its vibrant color also adds a visual flair to mixed drinks.
