La Muse Verte Traditionnelle Absinthe hails from the heart of Pontarlier, France, a region renowned for its rich tradition in absinthe production. This authentic absinthe is crafted following an original 19th-century recipe, using handpicked grand wormwood, green anise, sweet fennel, and other aromatic herbs, all distilled with meticulous care. The blend of these ingredients creates a vibrant, emerald-green spirit that reflects the legacy of traditional French absinthes.
The tasting experience of La Muse Verte is both complex and invigorating. Upon the first sip, it reveals intense herbal notes dominated by the anise and wormwood, followed by a subtle sweetness and a lingering bitterness that balances the palate. The fennel adds a delicate licorice touch, enhancing the overall harmony of flavors. With an alcohol content of 68%, this absinthe is robust yet refined, offering a full-bodied experience with each pour.
To enjoy La Muse Verte, it is traditionally served using the French absinthe ritual. Start by pouring a measure of the absinthe into a glass, then slowly drip cold water over a sugar cube placed on a slotted spoon above the glass. This process allows the absinthe to louche, releasing its intricate aromas and transforming the spirit into a milky, opalescent drink. Sip it slowly to fully appreciate the layers of flavor and the depth of its heritage.
