Distillerie et Domaines de Provence La Grande Absente 69% 700ml
$154.00
Grande Absente 69, the modern, provocative "green fairy" which inspires the contemporary art scene, embodies all that is spiritual and anti-establishment.
Caution, you may become mad... about it!
Aside from the traditional absinthe ritual, the different plants and of course the absinthe contained in Grande Absente 69 makes it an ideal addition to an infinite number of cocktails. Shakers at the ready! How do you drink it? A few ideas to use depending on your tastes and desires:
Traditionally, with the absinthe spoon ritual: Place a piece of sugar soaked with Grande Absente on an absinthe spoon placed on the edge of the glass. Light the sugar with a flame. Gently pour the water over it, to slowly dissolve the sugar and tint the liqueur with an opalescent green.
Pour the Grande Absente over shaved ice.
Add a little water only for those who prefer bitter drinks that are not very sweet.
And those who love strong sensations will appreciate Grande Absente neat, at 69% alc/vol.
In cocktails.
Tasting Notes:Colour: beautiful clear green colour with yellow reflections, which look clear and brilliant.
Nose: The aromatic power of grande absinthe dominates with the characteristic camphor and menthol notes which then mix in with fresh anise and spice notes.
Palate: A powerful attack due to the presence of absinthe, then the structured development leaves room for a fresh and spiced final note that gives the product its lingering taste.
Storage: at room temperature, not over 25°C or in the refrigerator. Store the bottle upright. No expiration date.
Bertrand Eau de Vie de Prune Vieille (Plum aged in oak) 42% 700ml
$158.00
From the distillation of Plums and Alsace Quetsch, the eau-de-vie will be slowly rested in oak barrels.
The slow respiration through the pores in the wood will give roundness and finesse.
It is in winter that our fermented fruits will be subjected to the test of fire: Distillation. The fruits will be deposited in the still, impeccable, gleaming of all its brass. Gently, the flame will volatilise the spirit of the fruit, concentrate its aromas and allow, very slowly the flow of a clear brandy already rich in a thousand flavours. The first and last fractions of the heating, heavier and less refine will be eliminated. We will keep only the heart of the heating, pure, fine and refined which alone is worthy of the name Bertrand.

Christian Drouin Sélection Calvados 40% 700ml
$94.00
While the Pays d’Auge Calvados requires prolonged aging in oak barrels to flourish, a Calvados produced from apples and pears, and distilled in a column still, offers an aromatic universe dominated by fruit, palatable. from an early age.
For this reason, CHRISTIAN DROUIN preferred to offer for “entry-level” a Calvados partly produced in the establishment he operates in Domfront. This calvados derives its originality from the high percentage of perry pears used in conjunction with cider apples. The soil (schist and granite) and the distillation process (a single distillation) also contribute to its typicality.
It is ideal for the preparation of cooking recipes, apple granita and cocktails requiring a fruity base alcohol.
La Sélection is an Appellation d’Origine Contrôlée calvados.
