La Fee Absinthe Blanche Superieure (75cl, 53%)

La Fee Absinthe Blanche Superieure is a blanche absinthe superieure from France, distilled in copper stills at the Cherry Rocher distillery in Rhone-Alpes and bottled at 53% ABV in a 750 ml bottle. It was first distilled in 2011 in association with the Musee de l'Absinthe in Auvers-sur-Oise, with eleven herbs and spices each distilled individually and blended to a museum-approved 19th-century-style recipe. The botanicals include grand and petit wormwood, genepi, green and star anise, fennel, hyssop, coriander, mint and lemon balm, with no colouring at any stage. It shows fresh, clean anise with fennel and liquorice aromatics; the palate is pronounced anise subdued by green herbal influence, with a numbing anise character and a refreshing mouthfeel on the finish.
