Absinthe Blanch 56%
This absinthe is produced at the Emile Pernot distillery using a blend of 15 natural herbs, including grande absinthe, green anise and fennel. As it has no secondary maceration of the various botanicals that are used it has no colour.
Tasted: Oct 2011
The nose is softer and it comes across as more commercial in style. Quite pure and clean with hints of spearmint and lemon but an annoying burnt caramel note hovers in the background. The palate is very much the same as the nose and rather lacks the rusticity of the Jade Liqueurs range.
With water it displays more wormwood notes, and rather emphasises that burnt caramel note.
