New from the Vanapo distillery is Absinth. A few years ago absinthe was considered the elixir of life. It is an alcoholic drink with a high alcohol content.
It has a bitter taste and is therefore diluted with glucose-fructose syrup.
Absinthe is a strong alcoholic drink made from herbal extracts, the base being wormwood. It is a green drink with an unforgettable bitter taste, which is why it is consumed diluted with water and sweetened with sugar.
Enter the world of absinthe, an alcoholic drink with the most romantic history. No other type of alcohol has aroused so much passion, fascination and condemnation. And no other has been outlawed for almost a century. For a long time, it was accompanied by a reputation for its hallucinogenic effects.
Genuine absinthe is an exclusively distilled spirit with a delicate, herbaceous character and a barely perceptible wormwood bitterness. The name comes from the French absinthe, after the Latin name for the true wormwood, artemisia absinthium. The 'holy trinity' of aniseed, fennel and wormwood form the basis of absinthe.
The bottles are filled at 60 % alcohol with a volume of 0,5 l.
