Absinthe Blanchette is a crystal-clear Absinthe of the Combier Absinthe product portfolio. Produced by the Distillerie Combier between 1899 and 1915, and again in the same stills since 2006, Blanchette is an authentic white Absinthe with a "Swiss" style with a dominant aniseed taste. With a nose full of freshness where green anise is first noticed, Blanchette is herbaceous and very perfumed with a delicate fruity, vegetal note brought by anise, fennel and grand wormwood. It is consumed with fresh water, without sugar, because it is not bitter. Its milky and frosty cloudiness brings a silky sensation in mouth.
The traditional way of serving Absinthe
This is how you prepare Absinthe the traditional French way. You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice-cold water for this ritual. This is how it works: You place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. The Absinthe in the glass blends with water and magically louches from green to an opalescent white color. Santé, your sugared Absinthe is prepared!
