This distillate provides an insight into our lush garden bed of herbs like wormwood, spinach, lemongrass, and orris root. The burst of our elusive green flash over our coastal ocean is captured in the tincture of this Absinthe. A subtle undercurrent of salty licorice brings a touch of complexity, and a reminder of our glimmer of green light as the sun sets on our west coast horizon.
Recipe/Approach:
Our absinthe is a true botanical bomb. Expressive in cocktails or savored the traditional way with a sugar cube ice water drip. Rooted in a classic European style, it’s reimagined through the lens of the California coast. Fresh herbs from Filoli and our own garden amplify the spirit’s vibrancy, with lemon balm, lemon verbena, and fresh lemon peel preserving a bright citrus lift while staying distinctly vegetal. An infusion of hyssop and spinach creates a naturally green hue that transforms beautifully when mixed.
Tasting Notes:
Notes of black licorice and star anise front this elusive green spirit. You’ll find a lingering taste of freshly milled grass that leaves a clean and invigorating sensation that dances on your palate. The interplay of mild vegetal fennel, the nostalgic sweetness of Good and Plenty candies, and the earthy tones of a damp forest floor, leaves a lasting impression that captures the essence of nature in a glass.
Aroma:
Notes of freshly crushed herbs and garden leaves on the front of the nose. This green note is partnered with bright citrus.The finish is clean and lingering, with hints of fennel, fresh-cut grass, and a faintly sweet, nostalgic licorice note that recalls the fleeting glow of a West Coast green flash.
