Spirits of French Lick Absinthe
Featured
Our Absinthe begins with neutral grain spirits which allows us to “paint” on a blank canvas. We macerate most of our botanicals for 18-24 hours in our pot still, Sophia. We then add the remainder to our gin basket for oil extraction. Distillation is performed very slowly to pull most of the essence of the botanicals into the distillate. We proof from 145 down to 120 over several weeks and tank age the distillate in neutral stainless steel tanks.
A total of 13 botanicals give rise to this gorgeous pour. We avoid all post distillation infusions preferring to rely on the Wormwood, Anise, and Fennel to provide a base upon which we build up pastoral, citrus, and notes of Chamomile.
