Description

Distiller Lance Winters considers absinthe the pinnacle of the distiller’s art form. Why? Because creating a beautiful absinthe means taking a number of loud botanical ingredients and making them sing in harmony. There’s a lot of hype and mystery surrounding absinthe, but the process itself isn’t really all that esoteric. The real art is in finding just the right ingredients and creating a symphony of flavor.
For us, that means infusing brandy with the unholy trinity of wormwood, fennel, and star anise. We then distill this infusion on our 1,500-liter copper pot still. After that, we perform a secondary infusion of mint, tarragon, opal basil, lemon balm, hyssop, and stinging nettles.
