Absinthe Set Époque

Only the best Absinthe and especially beautiful and exclusive Absinthe accessories form this Absinthe set. Absinthe Époque is a creamy mild Absinthe with notes of vanilla in the finish. A hint of calamus root is also part of the recipe. Calamus has the extraordinary property to give an Absinthe a historical taste. I.e. one has the taste impression that the Absinthe has been aged in barrels for years. Responsible for this are the aromas of the root. In the smell Calamus reminds of mandarines; the taste is however a little peppery and spicy. The combination with anise, fennel and wormwood results in a delicious complex taste, which is very well balanced and has the already mentioned vanilla creaminess in the finish. Due to its rather mild taste, Absinthe Époque is also particularly suitable as a premium beginner's Absinthe.

Absinthe Accessories of the Époque Set:

Furthermore, this set includes two Pontarlier Absinthe glasses. They are handmade and mouth-blown, therefore they do not have unattractice manufacturing seams, which you might know from pressed glass. The glasses have as well a reservoir in the stem to measure the correct amount of Absinthe. The spoons are made of stainless steel. They are authentic reproductions of the historical Absinthe spoon "Feuilles" from the 19th century. A bag of individually wrapped Absinthe sugar cubes completes this true set of luxury.

Absinthe Époque tasting notes:

Époque is an Absinthe for the finer moments in life. Its name refers to the Belle Époque, "the beautiful era", signifying a period in Europe's history that began during the late 19th century and lasted until 1914. It is considered the golden time of beauty, peace and entertainment. Cabaret, the famous cancan, and cinema were born and often enjoyed with a glass of Absinthe. In reference to this fabled era, Absinthe Époque is distilled after a classic composition of 12 herbs, including wormwood, green anise, fennel, vanilla and calamus. In the glass, Absinthe Époque fascinates with its natural golden-green color. When water is added, the room is immediately perfumated. This sensational experience is accompanied by an intense and creamy louche inside the Absinthe glass. Once sipped, it all starts with a fresh and sweet aroma of fennel, followed by a powerful wormwood bouquet, ending in subtle notes of vanilla and calamus ensnaring your tongue. Overall, this Absinthe is a wonderful sensual experience, we love it.
