Blanche de Fougerolles is made with a grape-alcohol base,
and combines grande and petite wormwood, green anise, hyssop, veronica, camomile,
génepi, fennel, coriander and angelica; all plants are individually distilled
into full 80%+ alcoholates, which are then blended. The alcoholic strength
is then reduced as historically specified to 74%, giving this absinthe real
backbone, but by no means overpowers the finesse and lingering aromas of this
complex combination of aromatic plants specified by this highly regarded and
well documented recipe. |
