70cl/75% ABV  Teichenne SA, Spain

Bottled at a whopping 75% this red Absinthe is strongly flavoured with liquorice and other traditional flavours. To taste it is best reduced down with a little water. 

The louche action that appears during the addition of water is quick and thick, leaving a beautiful milky pink colour.

Absinthe is beautifully complex spirit with strong flavours of anise supported by of herbs like melissa, hyssop, coriander and fennel. It has a very strong and powerful flavour and only takes a little splash to be noticed in a cocktail.. These complex flavours become subtler when water is added, the primary method in which absinthe is consumed. The best way to serve the spirit this way is with an absinthe fountain.

The absinthe ritual of La Louche is a process of adding iced water to absinthe, which dilutes the drink and slowly transforms its colour from the original emerald green to a lighter, opalescent shade of milky green.
