The taste of Hamlet Hardcore is of course potent, but you don´t detect that this Absinthe has 80% alcohol. The herbal ingredients give it a warm and smooth taste. Hamlet Hardcore is of course not an authentic 19th century Absinthe. It is just extreme, love it or hate it 
Have a good one!

Absinthe of the Month: La Maison Fontaine Verte with free Sugar Cubes
La Maison Fontaine Verte is a premium French Absinthe with a fresh, slightly peppery note. Below you see a picture of the distillery set up, where this Absinthe is distilled. After distillation the distillate is crystal clear. To achieve the green color, coloring herbs like artemisia pontica are added to the product. Think of it as a “tea bag”, that you put into the high proof spirit. Besides coloration, these herbs also give the Absinthes a stronger taste. The herbal composition has to be selected carefully. What you want to avoid, is ruining a perfectly distilled absinthe with a wrong composition of coloring herbs!
We also received a new Absinthe/Chocolate Liqueur form La Maison Fontaine. If you like it sweet, try out this very special product. You can drink it pure on the rocks, or you pour it over your favorite vanilla ice cream (that´s what we do, and how they could have served it back in the days! Enjoy!
Have a good one!

There is a new documentary coming soon about Absinthe. We already found the trailer for this Absinthe movie on the Vimeo video platform. Looks decent, but let´s see if it is a good movie. It seems as they will present the Green Fairy in its traditional way, that´s good!

Authentic Absinthe is of natural green color. After distillation coloring herbs are added to the crystal clear distillate. Think of it as a “tea bag” that you add to the elixir to produce the color of the “Green Fairy”. Typical coloring herbs of absinthe are artemisia pontica, melissa and hysop. Some Absinthe distillers use artemisia absinthium (wormwood) as a coloring herb, but this is something we can not recommend. As the wormwood plant is very bitter from its taste, wormwood as a coloring herb creates an unpleasant bitterness. Don´t get us wrong, we like a bitter smack in Absinthes, but the problem with wormwood coloration is, that the Absinthe gets more and more bitter the longer the absinthe stands in your bar. This means, a freshly colored absinthe with wormwood tastes good, but after approx. 1-2 months this nice taste turns into a harsh note. Therefore all our ALANDIA Absinthes are colored with the traditional herbs and suitable for maturing.
Here you see the different greens of Absinthe Suisse Verte and Absinthe Heritage Verte. Suisse Verte´s green is fresh and bright (this also reflects its taste), Absinthe Heritage has a darker vintage green (this reflects that this Absinthe is distilled with wine alcohol, which increases its quality of maturation in your bar/absinthe cellar).

We hope that you already have had a good start into 2013! We wish you peace, love, happiness and good Absinthe! 2013 is by the way the 12th anniversary of ALANDIA!
Yesterday – of course after work – we were sitting at our team meeting table and it was time to drink a glass of absinthe. The question arose, which one..? We had a look at our bar and all of a sudden the bottle of Jade PF 1901 caught our attention. Maybe it was the golden glimmer of the label that pushed us to drink a glass. Whatever, definitely we did not regret the choice! It had been a while, since we sampled Jade PF 1901 the last time. Therefore we were looking forward to brushing up our memories. We were once again delighted by the acquired taste of this premium absinthe! That´s why we decided to make JADE PF 1901 our Absinthe of the Month. This means a reduced price and one bag of ALANDIA sugar cubes for free.
