Nouvelle-Orléans Absinthe Supérieure 68°
by Jade Liqueurs
During the 19th century, New Orleans became home to many French immigrants, who brought with them a passion for absinthe. Local cafés and apothecaries began serving what were once deemed 'healthy' absinthe cocktails to a thirsty public. After being banned for almost a century, this old-world absinthe returns as Jade Liqueurs' Nouvelle-Orléans Absinthe Supérieure, an artisanally distilled pre-ban style absinthe that revives the spirit of pre-prohibition New Orleans culture.
Native New Orleanian and absinthe historian T.A. Breaux has resurrected the original pre-ban distillation of stimulating tonic herbs, just as the Belle époque apothecaries prescribed for various subtropical ailments. Jade Liqueurs' Nouvelle-Orléans Absinthe Supérieure is entirely handcrafted at the historic Combier Distillery in Saumur, France, and entertains the connoisseur with its delicate perfumed flavor and unique floral finish.
