Jacques Senaux Green Absinthe is a traditional Spanish absinthe, produced in Catalonia to a classic recipe. It pours a vivid emerald green and belongs to the verte style, a strong, anise-forward herbal spirit built around the famous trio of absinthe botanicals.
The spirit is crafted with wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), green anise and fennel, supported by a layering of herbs and spices that bring out notes of lemon balm, mint and licorice. The aroma is fresh and spicy, led by aniseed with a herbal lift, while the palate is smooth yet complex, balancing the gentle bitterness of wormwood against the natural sweetness of anise. The finish is warm and long, with a lingering peppery, herbal freshness.
Absinthe is traditionally served by slowly dripping iced water over a sugar cube into a measure of the spirit, which releases its aromatic oils and turns the liquid a cloudy, opalescent green. It also lends itself to absinthe-based cocktails where its bold botanical character can shine.
