Jade
Created by the superb Jade company this is a classic absinthe based on a 1901 recipe which was used by the famous Pernod Fils distillery based in Saumur, France.
I have bought all three of the top Jade absinthes available here and this one just takes the top slot. It has that eye clench power but still maintains a smoothness that belies it strength. Great in a cocktail but comes to its fore in a frappe or a simple Absinthe and water ( I use an Absinthe Balancier purely for the show).
Delightful in taste and appearance. Take it slow though.
Extremely fragrant and smooth. Has a strong herbal aroma and taste that doesn't feel weak at all even when diluted with no less than four parts water, and feels so silky running down my throat. Gives me a pleasant tingling sensation on my tongue, a characteristic of green anise and fennel. Overall, this absinthe gave me a truly amazing tasting experience. Five stars.
Amazing absinthe. Bought a second bottle for back up. More herbal than the Nouvelle Orleans. Incredibly refreshing. Especially when made with 2-3 parts water and 1-2 parts Schweppes pink soda. No sugar. Make the above for your anti absinthe friends in summer and watch them change their mind on absinthe...So refreshing.
1901 is a revisial of pre ban pernod fills. Aside from the leathery taste from ageing, the old pre ban sample was better, however not by much. If the pre ban was a made today 1901 is what you would get. For true absinthe conisure, made the old way. Outstanding at 1 to three (water) no sugar needed. And get ready for some beautiful fennel and wine base
