Description

Absinthe Maison ALANDIA is distilled with 16 different herbs, including artemisia absinthium, artemisia pontica, green anise, fennel, angelica roots, coriander seeds, and vanilla. Besides the complexity of the Absinthe recipe, a strong focus is put into the process of distillation. Each step is handcrafted 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 Absinthe distillation runs for 10 hours, allowing all the herbal tones to be set free.

After distillation, additional herbs are added to create Maison ALANDIA's 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 when you drink this Absinthe, anise is only in the background, together with a slightly sweet vanilla smack. One sip and you will taste why this Absinthe is something special: A Historical Dedication.

 

The Absinthe tradition of the Eichelberger Family:

A great-grandfather of the Eichelberger family, Eduard Heinrich Nötzel, lived from 1800 to 1874 in Danzig. He assumed ownership of the wood wholesale trade business of his father but expanded the business very soon. An advertisement in an old newspaper shows, that he started to offer different spirits and essences, including an „Extracte d'Absinthe“. In his tavern "Zum Elefanten" ("To the Elephant") his specialties were offered. His son, Otto Luis Nötzel, continued the flourishing business. Unfortunately he died young and his son was too young to manage the company. Therefore, the business was shut down around 1900. Due to the two world wars, the history of the family heritage was almost forgotten. Until in 1997, when the Wild family started again with the production of Absinthe in the Eichelberger distillery.

Love the flavors and the bottle design but the louche is too thin. Would love this with a thick rich mouth coating louche. (Posted on 6/26/2023)
Great absynthe Review by Justin
Rating
One of two bottles I purchased, and my first real absynthe. While I do not have other absynthe to compare it too, other than the Moulin Vert, I must say I was pleased. It was not quite what I expected, but I wasn't sure what to expect really. It has a beutiful and rich herbal bouqet, from the moment the bottle is uncorked. I had no trouble at all with the cork. The color is a beutiful green, and louches to a nice, milky, almost mint green. I had several glasses, trying both of the traditional rituals, but personally found melting the sugar into the absynthe more trouble than it was worth - as it produced no discernable difference in flavor. I found the flavor to be very pleasing, with no bitterness, and it went down very smoothly. There were strong herbal tones and more subtle variations to the flavor. I would say I was very pleased with the experience, and I can see why this particular blend is among so many favorites. (Posted on 12/16/2022)
Love it Review by Barbara

This has to be the best tasting Absinthe I have had to date. I tried several (7) other Absinthes and this one beats them all for taste. It's been my experience that anise heavy Absinthes go down very thick and those with no anise seem to "reak" of alcohol, (except Alandia's Gold 68). With that said this product has beautiful louche and a flavor to match. The Green Fairy effect is somewhat mild, if you happen to note I have not found one product that matches Strong68 in that department. But the effect is still noticeable. There is something about Absinthe that distinguishes it'sself from other sprits. Those with experience know it's the wormwood, but for alot of people in the states it is still unknown, untapped, or unheard of. This is one product that I will definitely utilize in introducing others to the wonderful "World of Absinthe". I give this one 5 stars based on taste alone.
I'm writing this after drinking in conjunction with the other products I ordered.

Decent Review by Ronald

First, let me start off by explaining my rating scale. I do not rate everything as 5 stars just because I enjoyed it.

1: drain cleaner. I found it so horrible that I was unable to drink it.

2: Below Average. If a friend offered me a dram, I would not turn it down, but I would never purchase a bottle for myself.

3: Average bottle in its price range. I would buy the bottle, but probably not to often.

4: Better than average. I would purchase this bottle most of the time. It shines above other bottles in its price range, and is even better than a few bottles that cost more.

5: Excellent. A bottle is always in my stash. I find that I drink it most often.

I rated this bottle as better than average. There is step competition at this price point, and there are a few other bottles that I enjoy just as much. I would pick this one more often due to its complexity and well balance palate. (Posted on 9/29/2022)
