Advantages: Taste and Effect

Disadvantages: Expensive

A sensual verte absinthe that is produced in strict accorance with a 19th century recipe.

This absinthe has a tasty wormwood complexity and back notes of anise and other floral flavours. Created using fresh wormwood, Century absinthe is a forest product that relies on herbs and plants that are naturally rich in essential oils. The distiller has managed to deliver 100mg of thujone and this is a record for any absinthe. Best enjoyed with crushed ice which releases the natural herbal oils and creates a spiral dance in the glass (which absinthe fans call a "louche"). This not a mass market absinthe and only a limited number of bottles are released each month.

The effect of drinking Century is very noticeable; it is quite diferrent from any other alcohol. Sensual and relaxing, this absinthe even has a reputation as an aphrodisiac in moderate quantities.

Absinthe began life as a curative liquor and the natural herbs and plants also stimulate digestion. It is best enjoyed as an aperatif or for a chilled and relaxing experience.

Summary: An indulgent and great tasting treat
