I'm a little surprised that being a Spanish absenta it's actually rather low on the anise. I poured some in my glass and smelled it again, and it presented a lot more of an alcohol smell. Tasting it neat was another surprise, at first it presents rather subtle, herbal characters and then after a short while the wormwood bitterness appears way back on the tongue, and then slowly disappears. It's in no way a bad form of bitterness - it's just enough. I placed the glass brouille on top of the glass, a classic Spanish type \"Tarragona\" glass. The type commonly used, and referenced to, by Hemingway. I figured that'd be suitable for having a glass of vintage absenta. Placed a sugar cube in the brouille and poured water over it. The Argenti slowly presented a fine, light green\/yellowish louche, and along with that the herbal scents lingered out of the glass. The character of the diluted Argenti isn't quite that of a floral drink, like some others, but rather herbal. I only diluted it about 1:2 parts, a little more, and it turned out really nice. It's a very interesting, rather special, drink. Not at all like the typical Spanish fare. That makes this one unique, at least to me.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHow would I sum this up? Well, the taste of the Argenti is really quite nice. I've had many other brands that have the same type of \"bitterness\" to it, but none of them manages to keep it at the same balanced level as this one. It never becomes \"too much\". Considering that it differs a bit from the other vintage absentas I've had, I'd put it in a league of its own, and I really really like it. I've said it before, and I'll say it again... Why won't the Spanish distilleries of today take a good look at how things were done before.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal source: www.absinthe.se\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"alandia-shop","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 60%","offer_id":53798102270291,"sku":"vintage-10","price":900.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9920\/9043\/files\/vintage-absinth-argenti.jpg?v=1767614426"},{"product_id":"vintage-comas","title":"Vintage Absinthe Comas 1000 ml 60%","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis vintage bottle of \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.absinthe-alandia.com\" title=\"Buy Absinthe\"\u003eAbsinthe\u003c\/a\u003e comes from the Spanish Absinthe distillery \"Noguera Comas\" in Barcelona.

Dating back to around 1920-25 it is not that far from the French ban. It actually does remind a bit of older Pernod Tarragonas, but not with that typical Pernod character. However, it is a very nice absinthe. The color is lightly feuille morte with a slight touch of green hinting in there somewhere and along with it follows a full and rich aroma that does follow what you would expect from a typical Spanish absenta before the modernization and clubhoppers came along to make Absinthes in all kinds of colors and terrible tastes. Compared to other vintage absentas it's very good and holds a long-lasting fruity but anisey taste. Slowly adding water to it presents a nice and thick louche, just as expected from the anise character, and it further enhances the aroma coming out of the glass. Its taste packs a nice wormwood flavour in the back of the mouth which just seems to linger there, not wanting to come out and take over too much. It's just there, somehow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI think it's needless to say that Absinthes of this quality are rare today, and I could easily live with drinking this every day - all day.

This was a very good absinthe. Not the best of the vintage ones, but very good. I'd actually say, even better than the Pernod Tarragona. When Pernod moved its production across the border to Tarragona, Spain, after the ban in France, they tried convincing the Spanish distillers, that they should stop absinthe production. However, the Distilerias Montana didn't care. They kept producing, and they still do today. A wise choice, I say. Upon smelling it, it brings a nice floral bouquet, with the anise quite dominant, but leveled with the freshness of citrus, as always in the Spanish absentas. The citrus is not at all as harsh as in many of the modern absentas, but it is there. There is a slightly detectable bitterness, but it is very nicely balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTasting it neat gives a nice, full-bodied mouth of a good blend of herbs. It does have quite the heat from the high degree alcohol, but that disappears after a while and bring out the great taste of a very good absinthe. Adding a bit of water to it, produces a thick, fine louche. The smell of the anise mixing with the bitter wormwood fills the glass, and it is very good. The taste smoothens into a perfect, easily enjoyable apéritif. As I said, this is a very good absinthe, or - absenta, and it is just a pity that the modern Montana, although quite nice, is not as good. At the time I sampled this one, Montana was on the verge of releasing a new Montana 68, which I have yet to try. It would be great if they actually turned back to their old, original recipe, but I take it they still use oils to produce a cheaper drink. Too bad. This one, though, was mighty fine, and the one that surprised me the most.

In the late 19th century, the name Pernod Fils became synonymous with absinthe. The brand represented the standard of quality by which all other brands were measured.

This laid the foundation for the sleepy town of Pontarlier to eventually become home to twenty-eight commercial absinthe distilleries and the global center of absinthe production.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"alandia-shop","offers":[{"title":"1000 ml \/ 68%","offer_id":52729477890387,"sku":"vintage-04","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1010\/9920\/9043\/files\/absinth-tarragona-banus.jpg?v=1767632757"},{"product_id":"pre-ban-pernod-fils","title":"Pre-ban Absinthe Pernod Fils","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003ca title=\"Absinthe for sale\" href=\"https:\/\/www.absinthe-alandia.com\/pages\/usa\" target=\"_self\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003eAbsinthe\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e was banned in France in 1914, this Pernod Fils bottle is from the period before the ban.
