Midsommers Night Absinthe
Taking a cue from traditional Absinthe, while also making the most of our local resources, we pot distill an apple brandy to use as the base for our Absinthe. Distilled to a lower proof than a neutral spirit, we believe this creates a rich, fruit forward flavor to balance and support the botanicals included in our recipe. Speaking of botanicals, we use a complex blend of herbs beyond the standard Anise, Wormwood and Fennel recipe. Cardamom, Coriander, Lemon Verbena, Spearmint and Clove are just a few of the herbs we’ve added, to flesh out the flavor. In our opinion, we have created an Absinthe that, has a more balanced and nuanced flavor than the big licorice bombs that most commercial Absinthe’s have become.
