The premier independent absinthe resource since 2003

Musset didn't write the way he did because he drank absinthe, instead he drank for the same reason for which he wrote just like that: namely out of despair.

Alcohol
13.5%
Manufacturer
Istenic / Urbano Pleme
Country
Slovenia
Color
Miscellaneous
Type

The Supreme Icon isn't really an absinthe per se but rather a ready made variation of the classic Hemingway cocktail; "Death in the Afternoon". That is - sparkling wine mixed with absinthe.

 
 
Tabu Absinth

Brand information

Alcohol
55%
Manufacturer
Felix Rauter
Country
Germany
Color
Verte
Type
Mixed & Macerated

Most German absinthes coming out around 2000 are bitter, dry and marketed using the thujone levels and old myths. Tabu is different in one aspect. It's not bitter.

 
 
The Harlequin Absinthe

Brand information

Alcohol
55%
Manufacturer
Les Fils d'Emile Pernot / Georg Strömfelt
Country
France
Color
Verte
Type
Distilled

The Harlequin Absinthe is the circus child sprung out of a love affair between French distillery Emile Pernot and Swedish enthusiast and distributor Georg Strömfelt - and it's one pretty baby with a disturbingly grown up face...

 
 
Trenet Premium

Brand information

Alcohol
60%
Manufacturer
Wine & Spirits Intl.
Country
France
Color
Verte
Type
Mixed & Macerated

I don't know where they got the idea to include "Premium" on the label, but it certainly has nothing to do with the quality. This is one of the many oil mixes that hit the market around 1998-2000.

Manufacturer
Les Fils d'Emile Pernot
Country
France
Color
Verte

This was one of the first distilled absinthes to be comercially released after the ban. Made by Emile Pernot distillery in cooperation with Liqueurs de France, this certainly raised the bar and since then, several high end absinthes have become available.

The first version of the Un Emile Blanche. The recipe have been tweaked and improved since this but it was one of the first high quality blanches on the market after the ban.

 
 
Un Emile Gentiane

Brand information

Alcohol

Les Fils d'Emile Pernot
Country
France
Color
Verte
Type
Distilled

A couple of very interesting variations on the Un Emile recipe came out during the early 2000's. The Gentian version is simply a Gentian distillate added to the regular Un Emile 68. Definitely a new twist to absinthe and bitters.

 
 
Un Emile Rouge

Another variation on the Un Emile absinthe. This time it was an experiment to make a naturally colored red absinthe.

Country
France
Color
Blanche
Type
Distilled

A distilled absinthe blanche with so much anise in it that it's hard to rinse your glass once you've finished your drink. That is, if you manage to go all the way thru a full glass. Toungue numbing is the word.

Another creation initiated by Liqueurs de France around 2003. Each ingredient is distilled separately and then it's all mixed together. It is still made exactly the same today, with no major changes.
