St. George's Distillery, in the San Francisco Bay area, recently began to produce an absinthe called Absinthe Verte. It has a strong anise flavour, with basil and a bunch of other herbs. The bottle looks especially ominous, what with the label having a monkey banging a cowbell with a human femur.
This, after a flight of vodkas and whiskeys at the tasting, produced in me a feeling akin to being encased in cotton. It was like lying down cloud of cotton-coated drink. Fantastic.
Sufficeth it to say, I did procure a bottle of this.
