ALANDIA Verte is a gold-medal-winning, traditional green \u003ca title=\"Buy Absinthe\" href=\"https:\/\/www.absinthe-alandia.com\" tabindex=\"-1\" target=\"_self\"\u003eAbsinthe\u003c\/a\u003e distilled in Fougerolles at a family-run distillery dating back to 1859. The recipe focuses primarily on absinthe's iconic ingredient: great wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), also known as \"La Grande Absinthe.\" The wormwood is grown locally in France on the distillery's own fields, guaranteeing exceptional quality. Furthermore, all subsequent processes adhere to 19th-century traditions: as in days gone by, the harvest is done by hand, and the wormwood branches are then dried for several months in a dark, but sun-exposed, wooden shed called a \"séchoir.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe production process is also true to the original. Distillation takes place in a large copper still. The recipe is based on a generous portion of wormwood (\u003ca title=\"Artemisia Absinthium\" href=\"https:\/\/www.absinthe-alandia.com\/blogs\/news\/wormwood\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtemisia absinthium\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e) and is enriched with other traditional herbs such as green anise, fennel, and the Artemisia species Genepi (alpine wormwood). After distillation, the initially crystal-clear distillate is macerated with selected coloring herbs. These give ALANDIA Verte its natural green color. Since direct sunlight would impair the natural green color of ALANDIA Verte, each bottle is wrapped in paper. After opening, the bottle should be stored in a dark place and ideally re-wrapped in the paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe recommend ALANDIA Verte to both beginners and connoisseurs. Novices will greatly appreciate the fresh, balanced taste of this absinthe. Experienced absinthe drinkers can focus their attention on the individual components: fresh notes of green anise and a touch of fennel combined with slightly grassy tones of genepi, all culminating in the floral and seductive taste of wormwood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAlso included in the Absinthe Set: Fountain, Glasses, Spoons and Sugar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Deluxe Gold Medal Set also includes a beautiful \"Chat IV\" absinthe fountain. \u003cspan\u003eAn absinthe fountain is probably the most impressive absinthe accessory you can own, as it allows you to achieve the best \"louche.\" Louche is the white cloudiness that appears when absinthe mixes with water.

They feature a reservoir in the base for measuring the correct amount of absinthe. They are an authentic reproduction of historical absinthe glasses.

Furthermore, the glasses are ground, giving them a beautiful, historical look.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \"Feuilles\" absinthe spoons are also authentic reproductions of historical originals.

First, place a sugar cube on the absinthe spoon and set it on top of the glass filled with absinthe. Now, carefully open the fountain's taps. A slow drip (not a stream) is best for dissolving the sugar, and the absinthe will begin to cloud. The absinthe is ready when the water and absinthe are completely mixed. We recommend a ratio of one part absinthe to two parts water.
