Maison ALANDIA is distilled with 16 different herbs, including artemisia absinthium, pontica, green anise, veronica, angelica, fennel, vanilla and coriander. Besides the complexity of the recipe, a strong focus was put into the process of distillation. Each step is hand crafted by a small family owned German distillery located in the Bavarian forest. Only 30 liter can be distilled in one batch and like in the old days, wood is used to heat the alembic. Each distillation runs for 10 hours, allowing all the herbal tones to be set free. After distillation, additional herbs are added to create Maison ALANDIAs poetical natural green color. The final product is matured for several weeks to develop its complex body, and full character. The taste of pontica is present, anise is only in the background, together with a slightly sweet chocolate smack. One sip and you will taste why this Absinthe is something special: A Historical Dedication.

  • 72% alcohol
  • 0.7 liter / 23.65 fl.oz

Absinthe Review: Absinthe Maison ALANDIA

I have read many contradictory reviews regarding this absinthe; some like it, some don't. The biggest complaint most often reported is that this absinthe is too bitter. I disagree whole-heartedly. I was a bit apprehensive in trying this absinthe, but in the end, I'm glad I did. This is a truly wonderful absinthe with a very nice "warm and fuzzy" herbal taste. Not too much or too little of anything; very appealing to a mature palate.

This was a great way to pop my absinthe cherry. I find myself licking the side of the bottle after every pour as to not lose a single drop of this delicious drink. Although it does tast and smell of pure alcohol straight, but when the french ritual is started it slowly turns from a green essence to a nice milky white louch. I find it hard not to drink this green fairy as I want to save it for a side by side comparison with my next absinthe order, which is hopefuly very soon. So far I find that a 2 to 1 ratio is best for me.

Very good stuff. Just the right amount of anise flavorings and smooth compared to other absinthes I have tried. I recommend not "louching" the absinthe as it creates a somewhat bitter taste (unless you've never had absinthe before and then try it just for the experience). I also would not recommend drinking it straight as it is 72% ethanol and will burn the f*ck out of your throat. The method I found best is to add one part absinthe and about 3/4 part cool to warm water. This adds just enough water to dilute the drink without causing it to louch (or precipitate). This creates a nice stiff drink with full flavor (about 40% similar to a whiskey). If it louches add less water. I also prefer to drink it warm rather than cold. This is just my opinion but I used to louch absinthe and couldn't stand the taste. Finally, I tried this method and now it's my drink of choice.
