Spirit: Absinthe
Distillery: Philadelphia Distilling
Philadelphia Distilling has realeased Vieux Carre, their tribute to New Orleans and The French Quarter’s ties to absinthe. It is distilled through a process of double maceration, which enhances the quality and flavor of the product. The spirit includes an array of flavors that are the result of including Grande Wormwood, Petite Wormwood, Green and Star Anise, Fennel Doux Provence, Melissa, Genepi, Hyssop and Spearmint.
Philadelphia Distilling says that their product can be mixed with or without sugar. They recommend that the best mix to balance the product is three parts water, one part Vieux Carre, and skip the sugar.
