Pernot fils absinthe

70 cl 68% abv

Un Emile 68 is a premium absinthe traditionally made to a 19th century recipe by steeping Grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), green anise and other plants in alcohol and distilling the macerated charge in an absinthe still. The colour is achieved naturally by soaking plants in the distillate. Unlike cheaper modern absinthes,
no oils, sugar, or artificial colouring have been added. Likewise, no star anise is used, which was typical of the traditional Pontarlier absinthe recipes. To best appreciate the complex flavours and louche, it must be properly served by slowly dripping cold water into it, as should all the absinthes from the Emile Pernot distillery.

Un Emile 68 Sapin has a unique flavour derived from the inclusion of pine (sapin) buds in a 20+ plant distillate which has been blended with the traditional Un Emile absinthe. Absolutely unique, it will please any lover of the atmosphere of the Great White North!

Serving suggestion for Christmas year-'round: In a blender, add 1 1/2 ounces Un Emile Sapin and 1 1/2 ounces of orgeat (almond) syrup to a handful of ice, mix until smooth and grate a dash of nutmeg on top for an exciting egg-nog alternative!

White Fairy is an absinthe blanche developed by Liqueurs de France and produced by the Emile Pernot distillery. This absinthe is released at 60% alcohol, which, we discovered, allows its delicate aromas to be less hindered by a high alcohol punch. As such, it also comes closer than our well-received Un Emile La Blanche 68 to the style and alcohol content found in Swiss 'La Bleue', which is typically between 50 - 60 %, but White Fairy uses no star anise, thus minimizing the 'licorice-like' taste.
We have found it to be the most 'cocktail friendly' absinthe we know of: White Fairy can be used as an interesting substitution in many your favourite recipes, especially mint juleps and mojitos!
