Absinthe Lord of the Frogs

Absinthe Lord of the Frogs (German: Herr der Frösche) is a deep green Absinthe of the SaarWhisky distillery. It is based on an original recipe from 1870 from the Val de Travers, the country of origin of Absinthe. It was carefully macerated by hand and then distilled. After distillation a second maceration process with a high number of different herbs produces the very dense green color and flavor intensity. Lord of the Frogs is accordingly not a gentle Absinthe, but has a very complex aroma density. Anise, fennel and wormwood notes characterize the taste, the long finish reveals fruity notes of raisins and dark chocolate.

The SaarWhisky Distillery

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.
