(136 proof). The recipe is based primarily on grand wormwood (artemisia absinthium). Other traditional herbs like anise and fennel are used to give this Absinthe a pleasantly fresh body. Nevertheless, the wormwood in the recipe gives Strong68 a slightly bitter taste. Therefore, we recommend preparing your glass of Absinthe according to the classic French Absinthe ritual with ice-cold water and 1-2 sugar cubes (more info about the ritual can be found below).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong68 is as well perfectly suitable for Absintheurs who are looking for a classic manufacturing process. The Absinthe is a distilled spirit (instead of being an oil mix or macerate) and is naturally colored using herbs and no coloring. The wormwood is locally cultivated on the fields of the distillery in France, which guarantees premium quality. The alcoholic strength is also set to the classic level of 68% by volume. Only at that level, the plant-based amber-green color of the spirit is preserved. Overall, this Absinthe is like in the old days. If you are looking for the real thing, Absinthe Strong68 is your choice. We are also proud to announce that Strong68 Absinthe is also the gold medal winner at the Concours de Lyon 2026, silver medal winner at the Craft Spirits Awards CSB 2026 and silver medal winner of the International Spirits Award ISW 2025!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to drink Strong68 Absinthe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should drink Strong68 according to the classic French Absinthe ritual.

You can use a water carafe or - even more professional - an Absinthe fountain for that. We recommend a ratio of one part Absinthe to three parts water. The Absinthe in the glass blends with sugared water and magically clouds from amber-green to an opalescent white color. This is called the \"louche\". Finally, stir the Absinthe with a spoon.

Maison ALANDIA is distilled with 16 different herbs, including artemisia absinthium, artemisia pontica, green anise, fennel, angelica roots, coriander seeds, and vanilla. Besides the complexity of the Absinthe recipe, a strong focus is put into the process of distillation. Each step is handcrafted by a small, family-owned German distillery located in the Bavarian Forest. Only 30 liters can be distilled in one batch, and like in the old days, wood is used to heat the alembic. Each Absinthe distillation runs for 10 hours, allowing all the herbal tones to be set free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter distillation, additional herbs are added to create Maison ALANDIA's poetical natural green color.

He assumed ownership of the wood wholesale trade business of his father but expanded the business very soon. An advertisement in an old newspaper shows that he started to offer different spirits and essences, including an „Extracte d'Absinthe“. In his tavern \"Zum Elefanten\" (\"To the Elephant\"), his specialties were offered. His son, Otto Luis Nötzel, continued the flourishing business. Unfortunately, he died young, and his son was too young to manage the company. Therefore, the business was shut down around 1900. Due to the two world wars, the history of the family heritage was almost forgotten.

The recipe is primarily focused on Absinthes iconic ingredient: Wormwood, also known as “La Grande Absinthe”. The plants are cultivated on the fertile fields of the distillery, which guarantees superior quality. Additionally, all processes orient on 19th century traditions: Like in the old days, the harvest is done by hand and the wormwood sprigs dry for several months in a wooden hut, the so called the “séchoir”.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrue to the original is the production process as well. The recipe consists of a decent portion of wormwood (artemisia absinthium), which is carefully blended with several other traditional herbs, including green anise and fennel plus the artemisia species genepi. For the making of the final spirit, copper stills are used for distillation. After distillation, the initially crystal-clear spirit is macerated with selected coloring herbs. They give ALANDIA Verte its natural green color. As direct sunlight would harm ALANDIA Verte’s natural green color, each bottle is wrapped in paper.
