Nose: Very herbal attack. Black licorice notes, but greener more herbal notes dominate here like fennel and absinthe plants. Intense. Herbal. Complex too - tricky to wrap one’s head around. If pastis is a laid back summer sipper, this is a year-round thought provoking kind of spirit.

Palate: Intense. Forward on the herb notes - fennel and absinthe cover the black licorice. Bitter note comes in from the mid-palate but it works well since sugar was added and the drink was watered down. All stays balanced but it’s an intense and herbal version of balance. Very interesting. Singular.

Description

Miscault Libertine 55% Originale Absinthe

Rene de Miscault Libertine Originale Absinthe is a perfect embodiment of history and craftsmanship. Hailing from a distillery established in 1859, this absinthe has a unique character and remarkable depth, derived from a recipe dating back to 1894. Renowned for its attention to quality, Rene de Miscault presents an authentic absinthe experience, carefully maintaining the traditional production processes, which include planting their own absinthe, fennel, and coriander.

Origin: An Absinthe Specialist with Rich History

Rene de Miscault, founded in 1859, has established itself as an absinthe specialist, producing a wide range of spirits including eau-de-vie de fruits, liqueurs, creams, gins, and whiskies. Regardless of the type of spirit, the distillery remains steadfast in its aim to produce the absolute best quality while maintaining a diverse and intriguing product line for customers.

Production Process: From Farm to Bottle

All of the Rene de Miscault absinthes are distilled, with each botanical used in the recipe distilled separately, ensuring a pure and expressive flavor profile. The distillery even goes a step further by planting their own absinthe, fennel, and coriander, providing an additional layer of quality control. The natural color of their absinthe is achieved through a slow infusion of plants, contributing to the product's authentic and vibrant hue.

Serving Suggestion: Traditional French Method

Serving absinthe is an art in itself. While there are several methods, the traditional French way is recommended for the Libertine Originale Absinthe. Start by pouring a standard spirits pour (25ml) of absinthe into a glass. Place an absinthe spoon or a small fork across the top of the glass, and place a sugar cube on top. Slowly pour ice-cold water over the sugar cube to dissolve it, stopping once the sugar cube is completely dissolved. As the absinthe changes color and appearance, savor the transformation. Bon appétit!
