It neither louches, as the essential oils of anise and fennel are missing, which are responsible for the cloudy effect if you mix real Absinthe with water. But this absence does not have to be a disadvantage. You can use Gold68, therefore, as well as a mixer for cocktails. We like to drink Gold68 with Ginger Beer, Ginger Ale, Tonic Water, Coke and if you like it, Energy Drink. But be aware, Gold68 still uses the traditional alcohol level of 68% by vol. (136 proof).

In the 19th century, Fougerolles was home of various Absinthe distilleries. And actually until today, the city is known for its premium spirits. Many distilleries look back on a century-long history, including the distillery where Gold68 is produced. It was founded in 1859 and still today the distillery cultivates its own wormwood. Every year, in July the wormwood plants are harvested. This means the plants, which now have a height of approx. 2 meters (6.5 feet) are cut by hand and then dried for the next 6 months in a wooden hut. The warm climate in summer and the cold temperatures in winter are the perfect conditions to further enhance the quality of the herbs. Overall, this time-intensive and traditional process guarantees premium quality. \u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDrinking Absinthe Gold68: What to expect\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend drinking the anise-free Absinthe Gold68 with at least one sugar cubes. Why? Because the wormwood level of this Absinthe makes it slightly bitter to the taste and this bitterness is not masked by the sweet-tasting herbs like anise. To make it precise, Gold68 is not for the Absintheur, who is looking for a very complex Absinthe. Gold68 is straightforward: Wormwood is what its recipe is primarily about, and therefore wormwood is what you will taste. When cold water is added, Absinthe normally louches to an opalescent white color. The louche of Gold68 is relatively thin, as this change of color is created by the essential oils of anise. As Gold68 skips this ingredient, you do not have a white louche. As its taste is non-licorice, you can use Gold68 Absinthe for mixed drinks, for example, Gold68 mixed with Ginger Beer, Ginger Ale, Tonic Water or Red Bull. Add a slice of lemon or orange and experience a very powerful drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuy real Absinthe and traditional Accessories online\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Absinthe store ALANDIA was founded in 2001.

With its unique skull bottle, Hamlet Absinthe takes reference to this famous play. It is a strong Absinthe with 69% alc. by vol (138 proof) and contains grand wormwood (artemisia absinthium).

That is why we also call the drink the \"Green Fairy\". But if an Absinthe is bright green, you can be sure, that it is artificially colored. You can only achieve a bright green color with coloration. If you use plant-based coloration, you will initially get a dark green as well, but over time this color can lose its intensity changing to a lighter yellow-green, sometimes even amber color. Why? Because sunlight dissolves chlorophyll and therefore as well, the green color can vanish. That is the reason why many green Absinthes are bottled in dark bottles. If you have a clear glass bottle, like we use for Hamlet Classic Green Absinthe, it is important to store the bottle in a dark place. It should not be placed in direct sunlight. But, and this is important, even if the Absinthe loses its initial green color, its quality is not affected.

It is produced in France according to a traditional recipe. Naturally, no artificial additives find their way into this absinthe—no artificial flavors, essences, or colorings. Its beautiful green color comes solely from the use of coloring herbs such as hyssop and Artemisia pontica. The alcohol content is the traditional 68%.

The association with wine also stems from the fact that Moulin Vert uses a wine alcohol base instead of grain alcohol. This was already a characteristic of particularly high-quality absinthes in the 19th century and lends them a slightly fruity note.

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). The Limited Edition is made with a little bit more wormwood than the regular Strong68.\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrong68 is perfectly suitable for Absintheurs who are looking for real Absinthe and a classic manufacturing process. Strong68 is a distilled spirit (instead of being an oil mix or macerate) and is naturally colored using herbs and no colorings. The wormwood is locally cultivated on the fields of the distillery in France, which guarantees premium quality. The alcoholic strength is as well set to the classic level of 68% by volume. Only at that level, the plant-based 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. It is important to point out, that Absinthe is not a drug. You will not (!) hallucinate (sorry). Nevertheless, this Absinthe should be consumed responsibly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow to drink Strong68 Absinthe\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou should drink Strong68 according to the classic French Absinthe ritual. You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice-cold water for this traditional ritual. This is how it works: First, you fill some Absinthe into the glass (approx. 1 oz). Then you place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. 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 green to an opalescent white color. This is called the \"louche\". Finally, stir the Absinthe with the spoon. Your glass of Absinthe is prepared!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA final note: We do not recommend burning the sugar cube, this is sometimes promoted. But this is (1.) dangerous as Absinthe is 136 proof, (2.) not historically authentic and (3.) destroys the aroma of the fine spirit. Drink Absinthe the traditional like we described above. This is simply the best and most authentic way.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ALANDIA Spirits","offers":[{"title":"500 ml \/ 68%","offer_id":52715698618707,"sku":"1718","price":39.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9920\/9043\/files\/absinth-alandia-strong68-limited-edition.jpg?v=1767614010"},{"product_id":"hamlet-hardcore-black","title":"Absinthe Hamlet Hardcore Black 500 ml 69%","description":"\u003cp\u003eHamlet, the tragedy by William Shakespeare, recounts how Prince Hamlet exacts revenge on his uncle for murdering his father.
