The Absinthe Libertine Fleur d’Absinthe is a very special absinthe from France from the Devoille distillery. Especially because a sprig of wormwood in the bottle gives off its effect and changes the taste and effect. The ingredients for this Absinthe Fleur d`Absinthe are purely natural. The color of this absinthe turns brownish and is therefore not 100% traditional, but thank God it is natural. Recently, an innovation in French law allowed more fennel to be used in absinthe. That is why the Devoille distillery used more fennel in this absinthe Fleur d’Absinthe than in any other absinthe from this distillery. Despite the sprig of wormwood in the bottle, this absinthe is not bitter, but develops a fresh and well-rounded drinking experience when enjoyed. Like almost every absinthe from Devoille, the individual distillates are mixed together and then we should have the best result. The absinthe Fleur d’Absinthe is said to be the first absinthe with a sprig of wormwood in the bottle from France.

Finally, after 3 months of development, countless attempts at concentrated recipe development, we have succeeded in creating an absinthe that is worthy of paying homage to Cthulhu, one of the great elders from HP Lovecraft’s fantasy epic.

Cthulhu is a handcrafted premium absinthe consisting of two phases, each specially distilled and then blended into one great whole.
On the one hand, Cthulhu Absinthe contains traditional absinthe ingredients, such as two different types of wormwood, fennel and anise. In addition, unusual, oriental herbs such as cardamom and coriander complement its exceptionally sweet and tart taste profile.
The sensory appearance was rounded off by a second maceration with blackberries and wormwood, which produces the intense blue-green color.

Absinthe Beetle from the Czech distillery L`OR Special Drinks is a very special absinthe.

Eurycantha horrida) cannot fly and stays on the ground or in trees. Here at L’OR Special Drinks it has found its way into the Beetle Absinthe bottle.

The Désirée is one of a series of traditional absinthes developed by Vert d’Absinthe, an absinthe shop in Paris that has unfortunately since closed. The absinthes are characterized by their traditional production and recipe, they can be recognized by the labels with depictions of women from the Belle Epoque.
The recipe for this absinthe distilled with wine alcohol dates back to 1899.
As is typical for Devoille, the taste is rather tart with herbs, but the green aniseed gives this absinthe an extraordinarily full and rounded character.

Roquette 1797 Absinthe is a complex, unusual and tart absinthe directly based on an 18th century manuscript recipe. It represents the first serious attempt in the modern era to recreate an absinthe from the very birth of La Fee Verte. As the drink that is seen between schnapps and drink, just like a magical and mystical elixir or as a modern aperitif.
Roquette 1797 Absinthe contains the classic ingredients of anise, fennel and large wormwood along with several other herbs, some not found in any other commercial absinthe. The absinthe is distilled in Pontarlier in an antique alembic in small batches and is only available in very limited quantities.
The oldest distillations in the latest Roquette bottling are almost 18 months old, with the youngest around six months old, and this level of maturity will maintain a viable production.
Absinthe Roquette 1797 should be prepared with ice cold water added to the absinthe as slowly as possible, ideally drop by drop. Careful preparation like this allows its subtly translucent louche and powerful, room-filling scent to develop to its best effect.
The coloring of Roquette 1797 Absinthe is achieved in the most traditional way possible using only two classic coloring herbs. Like all natural chlorophyll stains out there, the shade will gradually fade over a period of time. The bottle should be stored vertically and kept in a cool, dark environment like a fine wine. Under no circumstances should it be exposed to sunlight or extreme temperature fluctuations for any length of time. Each Roquette 1797 bottle is closed with a high-quality reusable wooden cork (T-cork) and finally sealed by hand with red sealing wax.
The number “1797” indicates the date of the manuscript recipe used, and “Roquette” pays tribute to the name of the faithful horse, whereupon Dr. Ordinaire-the legendary father of absinthe rode around the Val de Travers, tribute.

Can be seen through the water,
The one frog that everyone is already
calling The Lord of the Frogs!

This absinthe was distilled according to an original recipe from 1870 from the Val de Travers, the place of origin of absinthe. It was elaborately macerated by hand and then distilled. Then, in a second maceration process with a large number of different herbs, the very dense color and flavor intensity was created. It has a very complex aroma density, which is characterized by aniseed, fennel and wormwood notes. Its long finish reveals fruity notes of raisins and dark chocolate.

With La Luna, Plateau Spirits have made their very own version of an absinthe, in which the wormwood and anise get help from other fresh flavours like papaya, coconut, coffee beans, angelica root – all this is allowed to “pull” for a whole week on fresh lemon balm / heart delight .
This absinthe is a real delight for the palate and you immediately forget the high alcohol percentage of 61%, but beware, this s a far cry from your traditional or Czech style absinthe. This absinthe is almost half way to Aquavit, which creates an absolutely unique taste experience not seen on any absinthe before.

This absinth is naturally green from chlorophyll from the herbs used in production. The fragile healing and aromatic compounds removed from the herbs during the maceration process, are not destroyed by violent distillation (which some self-proclaimed absinthe gurus claim is the only way to make absinthe). Instead of the destructive process of distillation, we use freeze filtration, which preserves the herbal compounds for your enjoyment.

Marilyn Manson’s absinthe: distilled and naturally coloured, according to the rules. A great surprise. A certain complexity is hidden behind Mansinthe’s simplicity, and will surprise more than one. It suggests hyssop and green anise flavours on discrete grand wormwood notes, and offers an agreeable finish. An absinthe that will please fans as well as amateurs!

The recipe for this absinthe comes from the book “La fabrication des liqueurs” by J. de Brevans from 1897.
Like most of Oliver Matter’s products, it is very complex and herbaceous, but balanced and wonderfully mild. It goes without saying that it does not contain any artificial colouring or added sugar, the herbs used come largely from the area around the distillery and are produced according to ecological principles.
The picture on the label, Brain Salad Surgery II, comes from HR Giger, after whom absinthe is also named.
The original painting was stolen in 2005 and HR Giger offered a reward for finding it before his death.

The Verte de Fougerolles is made according to a recipe from this time, in our opinion it is currently one of the best French absinthe.
The taste of the distillate is rather herbaceous with a strong presence of bitter wormwood. Green anise and fennel give the absinthe a sweetness full of character that can be read in the background.
Of course, the Verte de Fougerolles is not sugared, it only contains natural ingredients.
This absinthe is also available under the name Enigma Verte, mainly for the English-speaking market.
