Lehmann Absinthe Onirique (70cl, 70%)

Lehmann Onirique is an absinthe bottled at 70% vol in a 70cl bottle. Absinthe is built on a strong spirit base with wormwood, fennel and anise, and the distillate is clear. Further wormwood and hyssop are added for the green colour, which here is added artificially rather than drawn from plant chlorophyll. The flavour is classic absinthe, with pronounced liquorice and a hint of bitter herbs. It can be taken in the traditional way, with a spoon of sugar softened in the absinthe, set alight and stirred into the glass, or used in a cocktail.
