New Absinthe from France



Absinthe La Muse Verte...$63.99
This original family recipe from the early 1900s is the result of tedious research and delicate blending of about eight plants, reminiscent in flavor and color of the original absinthe. The Grande Absinthe (wormwood) brings out the fresh bitterness but it really is the secret blending with the other plants that gives a perfect balance between the bitterness, the alcohol and the aromas.   This product brings us back a century, to the times of the Muse Verte, with artists such as Beaudelaire, Verlaine, Hemingway, Van Gough and Rimbaud...


The quality
  • It’s one of the rare absinthe on the market with a historical alcohol content of 68%.
  • It’s the only absinthe made with totally fresh cut baby absinthe leaves (used within 5mn of harvest) grown on the property, a unique particularity from the original recipe, which gives it this beautiful luminescent jade color.
  • Each plant in La Muse Verte Absinthe is carefully selected and is steeped in neutral alcohol of various alcohol content depending on the plant, in order to extract its best essential oil. All the infusions are then assembled with great care over different periods of time. Some of the plants macerate for more than 3 weeks. The final product undergoes a meticulous decantation and natural filtration process with wool and paper, just like in the ancient times: quality comes first.
