St. George Spirits Absinthe Verte 200 ml

St. George Absinthe Verte is a beautifully balanced, deeply botanical American absinthe. Celebrated for its modern yet traditional craftsmanship, it’s a vibrant expression of the green fairy—perfect for both connoisseurs and adventurous cocktail lovers.

🌿 Heritage & Craftsmanship

• One of the first legally distilled American absinthes following the 2007 repeal, crafted in Alameda, California, at St. George Spirits—an artisanal distillery founded in 1982 

• Created through a double-distillation process: a base of brandy macerated with classic absinthe botanicals (wormwood, star anise, fennel), followed by a secondary infusion of fresh herbs—mint, tarragon, lemon balm, hyssop, basil, and stinging nettle—yielding a naturally vivid green color 

👃 Aroma & Flavor Profile

• Bold and herbaceous, dominated by anise, tarragon, basil, and wormwood, with vibrant hints of mint, citrus peel, and fresh herbs

• Underlying floral complexity—hyssop and lemon balm—offers a refreshing, multi-layered bouquet 

👅 Palate & Texture

• Rich and viscous at 60% ABV, with a surprisingly smooth, silky mouthfeel (“numbing” to some

• The anise-forward palate weaves into earthy, peppery, citrus-tinged herbal flavors—clean yet intensely botanical. Water induces a luminous louche that opens a bright green, herby profile 

🔚 Finish & Serving Style

• Long, warming, and herbal—anchored in licorice, white pepper, and lingering citrus-herbal tones .

• Ideal served chilled, with one large ice cube or drip of ice-cold water to enhance complexity and reveal the classic absinthe louche. No sugar needed—this artisan expression is crafted to shine on its own.

🌟 Accolades & Character

• Widely lauded as “one of the most eloquent absinthes on the market,” praised by Food & Wine, Robb Report, BBC, and more for its expressive blend and meticulous precision.

• Some drinkers note a less typical louche appearance, yet its bold flavor and botanical depth make it a standout American classic.
