Lucid Absinthe Superieure (75cl, 62%)

Lucid Absinthe Superieure is a French absinthe made from grande wormwood, European green anise and sweet fennel. The whole herbs are used, rather than industrial extracts mixed in cold. Its green colour comes naturally from the chlorophyll in the herbs, so it can fade towards amber with time and light. No sugar is added, which leaves it as a true absinthe rather than an anise liqueur and lets the drinker sweeten it to taste with the traditional water and sugar cube. The nose is strong with anise, cumin, fennel and sage. The palate brings roasted nuts, pine, anise and a salty tang, and the finish is long, with anise and fennel lingering.
