About this bottle
Absente Originale from Grande Absente is a distinct spirit steeped in history and tradition, hailing from the beautiful southern France, a region renowned for its rich culinary and beverage heritage. This exceptional 750mL bottle embodies the essence of classic French distillation techniques, offering a unique experience for aficionados and curious explorers alike. Absente Originale is crafted with a meticulous blend of botanicals, including the legendary wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), which imparts its characteristic robustness and a subtly bitter edge, making it stand out in the vast sea of spirits.
This cordial is not merely a beverage; it is a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the bohemian lifestyle of late 19th-century France where absinthe was a staple among artists and writers, celebrated for its supposed ability to stimulate creativity. Its vibrant green hue is as captivating as its history, promising an aesthetic delight before the first sip is even taken. The palate is greeted with a complex array of flavors – aniseed, fennel, and a hint of mint, creating a harmoniously balanced yet intriguingly sophisticated profile.
Perfect for those seeking to dive into the world of classic cocktails or to savor neat, chilled, or with a touch of water to unleash the delicate louche effect, Grande Absente’s Absente Originale invites connoisseurs and newcomers alike to experience the allure of a bygone era. Whether enjoyed in the comfort of your home or given as a thoughtful gift with a personalized engraving or in a wine gift box from Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant, this spirit promises to deliver an unforgettable tasting journey that transcends borders and generations.

The Long Island Wine & Spirit Merchant TeamTasting notes
Nose
Wormwood leaps out first, green and slightly bitter, then anise and licorice soften it with a sweet, aromatic lift. A cool herbal edge runs underneath.
Palate
Light-bodied and silky, it leads with bright anise and a candy-like licorice sweetness, then wormwood's gentle bitterness rises and holds through the midpalate. Soft sweetness keeps everything in check.
Finish
Lingering bitterness, clean and herbal, with a faint licorice echo. Medium length, refreshing rather than cloying.
How to serve and what to pour it with
Serve well chilled, neat in a small glass, or over a single large ice cube to tame the bitterness. Traditionalists use a slotted spoon and a slow drip of ice water, which opens the botanicals without diluting too fast. Add water sparingly, a little goes a long way.
