ABSINTHE ANGÉLIQUE 72 VERTE / ELIXER DES ANGES - 72°


Produced in the Val-de-Travers, for the Galerie Grüner Engel located in Heidelberg, Germany, Absinthe Angélique 72 Verte was really tough to handle. With a 72 proof alcohol content, most of the taste is lost in the alcohol burn as you swallow. This absinth is very bitter and would definately need to be louched.

Absinth24.net sells this absinthe for a whopping $74.00. I feel this is far too much for this absinthe. Unless you like the harsh alcohol burn that gives you a shiver after a shot, you're better off with the Phillipe LaSala.

This absinth louches quite well when combined with sugar and water. It turns cloudy, which I like and louching really enhances the sweetness inside. It's delicious.
