Process & Profile

Leopold Bros. Absinthe Verte is made in small batches following the style of 19th-century European master absinthe makers. It begins with a grape distillate base (imported Chilean Pisco), distilled with core botanicals required for absinthe: anise seed, fennel, and grande wormwood. After distillation, it is naturally colored by steeping in herbs such as lemon balm and hyssop to produce its brilliant emerald green hue.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Bold, sweet anise and licorice with herbal freshness; hints of fennel, wormwood bitterness offset by green herbs like lemon balm and hyssop.

• Palate: Rich and intense with anise and fennel upfront; wormwood adds herbal bitterness; smooth grape-derived body; strong green herb notes.

• Finish: Long, warming, with lingering herbal bitterness, anise, and clean spice; strong alcohol presence balanced by botanical depth.

What Makes It Special

• Produced with a grape distillate base (imported Chilean Pisco), which is less common in absinthes and contributes a distinct flavor foundation.

• Natural coloring via herbs (lemon balm, hyssop), rather than artificial dyes.

• High proof at 130 proof (65% ABV), delivering full potency and traditional absinthe intensity.

• Made using traditional absinthe botanicals and production steps, appealing to purists and cocktail lovers alike.

How to Enjoy

Serve using the classic French method: pour over a sugar cube on a slotted spoon, then slowly drip ice-cold water to louche. Can also be used in cocktails like the Sazerac or Death in the Afternoon, or simply sipped with water to mellow intensity.
