Description

This Absinthe is our bestseller: Like the name suggests, Strong68 is a quite powerful Absinthe with 68% alcohol by vol. (136 proof). The recipe is based primarily on grand wormwood (artemisia absinthium). Other traditional herbs like anise and fennel are used to give this Absinthe a pleasantly fresh body. Nevertheless, the wormwood in the recipe gives Strong68 a slightly bitter taste. Therefore, we recommend preparing your glass of Absinthe according to the classic French Absinthe ritual with ice-cold water and 1-2 sugar cubes (more info about the ritual can be found below).

Strong68 is as well perfectly suitable for Absintheurs who are looking for a classic manufacturing process. The Absinthe is a distilled spirit (instead of being an oil mix or macerate) and is naturally colored using herbs and no coloring. The wormwood is locally cultivated on the fields of the distillery in France, which guarantees premium quality. The alcoholic strength is as well set to the classic level of 68% by volume. Only at that level, the plant-based amber-green color of the spirit is preserved. Overall, this Absinthe is like in the old days. If you are looking for the real thing, Absinthe Strong68 is your choice. It is important to point out, that Absinthe is not a drug. You will not (!) hallucinate (sorry). Nevertheless, this Absinthe should be consumed responsibly.

 

How to drink Strong68 Absinthe:

You should drink Strong68 according to the classic French Absinthe ritual. You need an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon, sugar cubes and ice-cold water for this traditional ritual. This is how it works: First, you fill some Absinthe into the glass (approx. 1 oz). Then you place the Absinthe spoon on the rim of the glass, put a sugar cube on top and slowly add water. You can use a water carafe or - even more professional - an Absinthe fountain for that. We recommend a ratio of one part Absinthe to three parts water. The Absinthe in the glass blends with sugared water and magically clouds from amber-green to an opalescent white color. This is called the "louche". Finally, stir the Absinthe with a spoon. Your glass of Absinthe is prepared!

A final note: We do not recommend burning the sugar cube, this is sometimes promoted. But this is (1.) dangerous as Absinthe is 136 proof, (2.) not historically authentic and (3.) destroys the aroma of the fine spirit. Drink Absinthe the traditional like we described above. This is simply the best and most authentic way.

in love Review by purpleChaos

WOW!!!!! I must say this is one fine absinthe. I'm sitting now on dose #4 and i have to say that my extremities are rather limp as i'm typing this. Very good absinthe, my last buy was the Hamlet, and this one is more palatable. Not alot of anise, has a very "herbal" flavor unlike any absinthe i've tried. Effect quite nice, alandia doesn't say how many mg of thujone, but definetly in the 32-35 range. A must buy; will be ordering the triple pack next. Thank you Alandia!!! (Posted on 12/15/2022)
love the buzz Review by Carlos

After about 5 drinks I was toast. There is a real nice mellow buzz to it. I drink alot and regularly, and I can honestly say the buzz definetly has it's own special feel to it and it'll stay with you for along time. I'm not a big fan of things tasting anise and this one wasn't too bad at all. I did purchase it off of reading the reviews so I had to give my opinion. I enjoyed the product very much and the service and shipping was excellent, especially for ordering around the holidays took excactly 8 buisness days not including Thanksgiving.

Great starter Review by Schanobi

If your looking for your first bottle, and your afraid the taste will be unbearable this is a great starter. (Posted on 12/15/2022)
good stuff would buy again! Review by Jasper

This is the first high quality Absinthe Ive tried, its most certainly going to be a favorite of mine from now on. The delivery was faster then I thought I placed the order on a friday and the following thursday it was in my hands. The louche is beautiful along with the wonderful aromas that fill the room after you add the ice water. This is the real deal, its sweeter then other brands Ive had which are so bitter. Its got a nice crisp finish to it and it kinda made me want to keep drinking but I want this to last until I get my next bottle. So far this is the good stuff, but I will be trying other brands on here and see what they have to offer as well. (Posted on 12/15/2022)
Very nice Review by Sharik

Very nice taste, color, and louche. My first Absinthe from Alandia. Highly recommend, actually enjoyed more than the Jade Verte Suisse, which surprised me. (First absinthe I've had without sugar, and loved the taste--I'm still experimenting with sugar/no sugar in my absinthe.) (Posted on 10/17/2022)

Hello my fellow absintheurs!
When I first tasted this absinthe, I was very disapointed by its taste. But then, after I really got to taste it, I really fell in love with this absinthe!
I'm drinking it right now, and the effect for just a couple of shots mixed with cold water, is amazing! My movements are kinda slow, music feels like it's all around me (like surround sound), my face is warm, and it feels like hundreds of little needles pinching my face, but in a very good way!
And another thing about the music-part; when in songs you here these electronic-made "clinks" (like a nail to a crystal-glass), it sounds really loud, and the sound kinda continues, when it really doesn't (I can't really explain it...)
But seriously! Buy this absinthe!!!

If I should give this absinthe a name, it would probably be "The best cheap absinthe"! (Posted on 9/29/2022)

Wonderful Review by Paula Staunton

This is my purchase from Alandia. Ive tried second rate absinthes many times with the Czch ritual or stupidly drinking it neat and never realising that this didnt really do this wonderful drink justice. So i ordered this and used the advice to use the parisian method and mix one part absinthe with two sugar cubes to three parts water. What an absolute delight this is wonderful. At first i get the sweet anise flavour but on the back of my tongue i get another herbal taste which reminds me of taking a deep breath in a wonderfully scented aromatic forest. It very gently warms the back of my throat and is very smooth. All in all i think for me as a beginner its the perfect bottle to start off with until my palate becomes used to more complex flavours. I will definatly be ordering more bottles of this once my supply runs out. (Posted on 9/29/2022)
