Absente Van Gogh Head Absinthe (1L, 55%)

Absente Van Gogh Head is a 55% absinthe from Provence, supplied in a 1 litre hand-painted porcelain decanter shaped as the face of Vincent van Gogh. It is made by Distilleries et Domaines de Provence using traditional distillation and infusion. The botanicals are led by grande wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), with star anise, peppermint, sweet balm and mugwort. Each decanter is individually painted and numbered. The nose is herbal, with anise and wormwood over peppermint and a faint green sweetness. The palate is rich and slightly viscous, with liquorice sweetness, subtle spice and citrus, and wormwood bitterness. The finish is clean and lingering, with anise and cool mint.
