Absinthe
Absinthe is an anise-flavoured spirit with a unique mystique. Absinthe's notoriety and cultural significance have led to the prevalent misconception that the drink can cause hallucinations due to the active ingredient, thujone-in reality the thujone level is so low that any effects experienced are entirely due to absinthe's high alcoholic strength.
10cl / 70%
A concentrated bitters made with the various herbs and plants used to flavour absinthe. L'Extreme d'Absente is high in alcohol and meant to be added a few drops at a time to other drinks - we really don't recommend drinking this on its own...

An impressive jump into a new spirits category for brewer Adnams, following up their vodkas and Spirit of Broadside with a pair of absinthes. This is the more conventional of the two, macerated with traditional botanicals and distilled before being infused with further green plants to give its olive colour.

50cl / 66%
A particularly interesting product from brewer Adnams, stretching their young distillery even further. Not only is this a traditionally made absinthe, distilled and macerated, it is also made in England. Oh, it's also red. The colour comes from a final maceration with hibiscus flowers, adding in floral and fruity notes.
