NV Absinthe Verte (75cl)

NV Absinthe Verte is La Fée's modern French green absinthe, produced in France. It blends the classic absinthe trinity of grand wormwood, fennel and star anise with peppermint, cocoa pods and Madagascan vanilla, through gentle maceration and distillation. It is designed to louche on contact with ice and is vivid lime-green in the glass. La Fée was founded by George Rowley after around four years of research, drawing on the Schimmel Library, and launched circa 2008. The nose is herbal aniseed with fennel and a faint vanilla sweetness, with subtle cocoa beneath the wormwood character. The palate is lush and herbal, with the classic trinity carried on a softer, modern frame and the vanilla and cocoa rounding the edges.
