Absinthe Jade Nouvelle Orleans

This was the first Jade Absinthe that was launched by Ted Breaux. It is still an all time favorite.

Info from the producer: Jade Absinthe Nouvelle-Orléans presents the connoisseur with an unique perfume and texture that disappeared along with the artisanal marques almost a century ago. Several medicinal plants and flowers, including wormwood are macerated in a wine-based alcohol and then distilled in 100 year old alambics. Its light green color comes from a second infusion of plants in the resulting distillate. Its aromas are bright yet complex and savory; it is a true apéritif, one that stimulates the appetite while cleansing and refreshing the palate with its crisp, rich taste. The finish is long and fresh, with its attractive floral components lingering long after the last sip.

As a final note, Absinthe Nouvelle-Orléans is refined enough to be sipped straight, particularly as a digestif at the end of a fine meal. It is truly exceptional when coupled with a delicate, almond-based dessert, such as a macaroon.
