Scotland
The creators of Edinburgh's first absinthe are trying an approachable take on the notorious green spirit. Attempts to undo its unfair reputation include botanicals picked from an on-site distillery garden, grown using composted organic waste, and exclusive artwork by local illustrator Jack Fletcher. It's a charming drink best enjoyed over ice, once you've given it a swirl and allowed it to dilute to about 1:1 (absinthe to water), it should chill and louche (become cloudy), which will make it sweet and oily.
Herbal with notes of mint and lavendar as well hints of salt, liquorice fennel, and aniseed.
