Absinthe Duplais Blanche

Absinthe Duplais Blanche with 500 ml. and 72 % volume is produced with the typical Swiss precision and care. The base is a French receipt dating back to the 19th century. Absinthe Duplais is distilled on old stills, this way we can assure that the result is accurate and authentic. Herbs are maybe the most important factor when it comes to high quality Absinthe. Therefore we have selected the best possible quality to make Absinthe Duplais an adorable, excellent drink.

This is the new benchmark for commercial blanches. I can find no flaws in the process or taste profile. It's intensely herbal, airy and floral with a subtle fruity undertone, and really stands out from its competitors. It's quite refreshing. I wouldn't mind a creamier profile, but that's a personal preference and in no way reflects poorly on the quality of the drink. What I perceive to be coriander and star anise do not overpower the other flavours, which is rare among blanches that use them. The maker should be proud.

PERSONAL NOTES
I diluted it 4:1 instead of the standard 3:1 due to the higher alcohol content. At 3:1 the flavours don't fully develop and the aroma doesn't bloom as much.
