Wine & Spirit Merchants - Since 1890 Product: Absinthe Brevans H R Giger
Price: £42.30 (£36.00 ex VAT)
Size: 50cl Absinthe Brevans is named for Jacques de Brevans, author of the French liquor-maker's manual, "La Fabrication des Liqueurs". It is based from a recipe in this book dating from 1897. The base alcohol is a balanced mixture of wine alcohol and marc and the herbs used are sourced from the same region as those used by the most famous historical absinthe distillers. Absinthe Brevans is colored naturally, and only with additional plants. The result is a highly complex, authentically reproduced absinthe, worthy of the best makers of the past.

Note: Because of the instability of natural chlorophyll, this absinthe can change color over time. Likewise, the color can vary from batch to batch. This will not affect the quality of the absinthe. It is recommended to store this absinthe at room temperature, standing up and in the dark. As a serving guide, mix with cold, still water at a ratio of 1 part absinthe to 2 to 5 parts water.
ABV: 68%
Wine & Spirit Merchants - Since 1890 Product: Absinthe Doubs Mystique
Price: £42.30 (£36.00 ex VAT)
Size: 50cl Winner of Gold Medal and Best in Class at the 2008 International Wine and Spirits Competition!!

Doubs Mystique "Carte d'or" is a superb ultra-premium absinthe distilled in century old alambics in Pontarlier, in the heart of the Doubs region of eastern France, the historical home of absinthe. It's a modern absinthe, to please the modern palate, although one that pays homage to the recipes and methods of the past. No other modern absinthe has as extensive a herb bill - the secret of Mystique's richness, smoothness and remarkable complexity of aroma and flavour.

All the herbs - including of course the grande absinthe - that could be sourced from the Pontarlier region were sourced locally. Enormous effort was expended on herb selection, and preparation. The youngest distillations in the final blend are at least 6 months old, the oldest more than a year old, and this balance will be maintained in future production.

Wine & Spirit Merchants - Since 1890 Product: Blanche Traditionelle "Brut d'alambic" 'Essai 4'
Price: £41.13 (£35.00 ex VAT)
Size: 50cl 'Essai 4' Distilled: May 2007 - Aged 10 months before bottling.

NOTE: This absinthe has now had 2 years of aging!

Modifications to 'Essai 3' for 'Essai 4' : 100% Wine alcohol base, green anise and fennel in equal amounts.

This "essai 4" (forth trial) absinthe blanche also follows the historic 'Absinthe Suisse Blanche' recipe (which does not include a final coloring step), using a single, mixed-plant alambic charge. It still is being bottled without any water reduction as a full 81.3% alcohol distillate. We want to continue using the same format as the first, that is, for our customers to have the opportunity to taste the full-strength absinthe distillate, straight from the alambic.

Blanche Traditionelle presents extremely concentrated aromas from the variety of aromatic plants used including grand and petite wormwood, green anise, coriander, hyssop, génépi, camomile, fennel, veronica and angelica. It is remarkably intense in taste, yet retains the impression of sweetness with a slightly bitter, herbal finish. It should be served diluted with a minimum of 4 parts ice-water and sugar can be added if you prefer. Always keep in mind that it is twice as strong as virtually every other commercial spirit. Bottled in heavy white crockery.
ABV: 81.3%

ABV: 72%
Wine & Spirit Merchants - Since 1890 Product: Clandestine 53 La Bleue
Price: £47.00 (£40.00 ex VAT)
Size: 70cl Absinthe 'Clandestine' is an authentic La Bleue made in Couvet, Val-de-Travers, Switzerland, the birthplace of absinthe. Its creator Claude-Alain Bugnon was the first clandestine distiller granted legal status by the Swiss government in the spring of 2005. For years he had been responsible for a certain quantity of bootlegged absinthe that brought so much attention and status to this small region. His 'Clandestine' has been and is still considered by many to be the best Swiss La Bleue available today. Fresh as an Alpine meadow with bright anise, wildflower and wormwood aromas, a touch of honey and a refreshing, long taste. This absinthe is left uncolored and clear (the bottle is blue) and will take on a milkly opalescence when cold water is added. It is said that Swiss "La Bleue" style absinthes got their name because blue reflections can sometimes be seen in the bright white cloudiness of the louche.
ABV: 53%
