What Is Absynthe?
Absynthe (traditionally spelled Absinthe) is a historic European herbal spirit originally distilled in Switzerland and popularized in 19th-century France. Known for its vibrant green color and legendary botanical complexity, absinthe is crafted by infusing neutral spirits with a carefully balanced blend of:
-
Grand Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium)
-
Green Anise
-
Sweet Fennel
-
Hyssop
-
Lemon Balm
-
Additional aromatic botanicals
The result is a high-proof herbal liqueur celebrated for its bold anise aroma, layered herbal bitterness, subtle sweetness, and signature louche effect when diluted with water.
How Absynthe Is Traditionally Made
Authentic absinthe production follows three key stages:
-
Maceration – Botanicals like wormwood, anise, and fennel are steeped in neutral spirits to extract essential oils and flavors.
-
Distillation – The infused spirit is distilled to refine and smooth the flavor profile.
-
Secondary Herbal Coloring (Verte Style) – Additional herbs are steeped to create the natural green hue and enhance complexity.
Our Absynthe Barrel Aging Kit recreates this traditional botanical experience using premium absinthe essence and oak barrel aging to deepen flavor, round sharp edges, and develop refined herbal smoothness.
How This Kit Elevates Flavor

Aging your spirit in the charred American oak barrel adds additional layers:
