Macerated Absinthe for sale
Maceration is a production method, which is simpler in comparison to a distillation. The Absinthe herbs are put into neutral spirits to set free their flavoring essences. After some hours the macerate is filtered. Maceration is sometimes called "cold distillation". It underlines, that the alcohol is not vaporized by heating the alembic. Macerated Absinthes have a stronger taste, as the bitter aromas remain in the spirit. Although the production method is less complex and therefore as well less cost intensive, it does not mean that these Absinthes are of low quality. You can consider them as an additional Absinthe category with a stronger herbal taste, as the bitter components of the Absinthe flavoring ingredients are not removed by the process of real distillation.
Buy macerated Absinthes or upgrade to a distilled spirit?
If you like a stronger, slightly bitter taste in your Absinthe, you should try a macerated Absinthe at least once. We can recommend the Spanish Lasala Absinthe for its fresh taste and attractive price. The Hamlet Hardcore Absinthes are very potent and strong in taste. Our favorite is the classic version, as it is naturally colored. Nevertheless, we are fans of distilled Absinthes, as they have a much finer taste. If you decide to buy a macerated Absinthe, you should order as well one brand from our original Absinthe section. All the Absinthes from this section are distilled. If you then compare the taste, you will experience the difference by yourself.
