Description: According to Absinthes.com: When Mr. S. Helfrich announced he was stopping producing absinthes (blanche and verte) at the end of 2009, the news came as a big hammer stroke for most of the absinthe lovers. That’s why Ton Akveld decided to take up the torch and bring back those absinthes to life, using the same recipes, for everyone’s happiness. Ton’s absinthes are traditionally distilled using entirely natural products including numerous herbs such as grand wormwood, green anise, fennel, angelica, coriander, mint and melissa (not to mention other natural herbs).

Description: From the manufacturer's website: Absinthe Helfrich is a distilled absinthe, made with merely natural compounds and based on nineteenth century recipes. It is the very first contemporary genuine absinthe that is manufactered in The Netherlands. The rich scent, full taste and spring green colour can be carried back to the use of carefully selected herbs. These herbs have first been macerated in a high quality base alcohol such as has been applied in the Dutch liquor tradition for centuries. The macerate is being distilled, so that unpleasantly bitter and harsh compounds remain in the still while the desired aroma's find their way into the distillate of Helfrich absinthe.
