Absinthe Absense

Absinthe Absense is a balanced, floral fruity Absinthe from SaarWhisky Distillery. It is based on a complex recipe of 13+ different herbs. Among them are lemon peel, orange peel, rosemary and lemon balm. These botanicals characterize the top notes of the Absinthe, while the classic components of anise, fennel and wormwood form the base. The Absinthe is naturally colored green. The white-green louche after adding water to the green spirit is pleasantly dense, which is due to the high content of essential oils in the herbs.

In taste, Absinthe Absense is similar to Absinthe Lord of the Frogs, another excellent Absinthe from SaarWhisky. However, in direct comparison, Absense is somewhat milder and fruitier. But beware, with its complex aromatics and its extraordinary label, this Absinthe will draw you under the spell of fairy tale dreamscapes...

The Distillery of single Cask Whiskey

The "Saarland" is a region in the southwest of Germany. It is shaped by heavy mining and crowned with multifaceted natural landscapes. This region is as well home of the SaarWhisky distillery. Since 2015 SaarWhisky is specialized in so-called "Single Cask Bottlings". These are whiskey bottlings from only one single cask, which are offered in small batches. These have the same alcohol strength in the bottle as it was originally in the whiskey barrel (cask strength) and come without the addition of colorants or cooling filtration. For this, SaarWhisky imports barrels from Scotland and Ireland, which they personally select from hundreds. In the last years they have expanded their selection as well to exceptional Absinthe, Pastis and Gin which they distill in small batches with eccentric bottle designs.
