Copper & Kings Absinthe Alembic Blanche

Copper & Kings Blanche Absinthe is made from a base of muscat grape eau-de-vie (un-aged brandy), which is the traditional base for all absinthe. The use a double distillation method where the "low wines" (or lightly distilled muscat wine) is infused with the botanical range and then re-distilled to the higher proof. It is a "blanche" or "bleu" absinthe lacking the green color of absinthe verte as a result of the distillation after the infusion. Copper & Kings Brandy Company is located in Louisville, Kentucky and use a pot distillation method of production (a common style for French cognac). Unlike the French Charentes stills, the Copper & Kings still was made in Kentucky.
AROMA: Herbaceous, pastoral, subtle layering of typical absinthe notes; wormwood, hyssop, fennel open in the glass. muscat bouquet with Uniquely spicy hints of black pepper.TASTE: Slightly restrained anis, faintly bitter, hint of mint, typical licorice without being overpowering or flabby. Black pepper spice. not syrupy sweet.FINISH: Super creamy mouth-feel, natural viscosity. Black pepper, fresh licorice through the back end.An unconstrained spirit should not be inhibited completely by tradition. We do not believe in consumption rules. Please enjoy our absinthe on the rocks with a citrus twist, as a julep with crushed ice and generous mint, or in the classic and imaginative cocktails that take your fancy.Or be seduced by the traditional serving ritual with cold water, however in our opinion, absinthe is sweet enough without an added sugar cube. The faux ritual of setting distillate or a spirit soaked sugar cube on fire is an abomination.
