We’ve seen a number of new vermouths hit the local market of late, and now here comes one with a twist.
Absenteroux is, much like vermouth, a fortified wine (they use ugni blanc, grenache blanc, vermentino and clairette from Provence) with the usual suspects of wormwood and other herbs and spices flavouring the mix. But with a light green colour and botanicals like anise in the mix (along with coriander, lemon balm, mint and gentian) it is reminiscent of fine absinthe — vegetal, fruity, with a spicy sweet finish, it weighs in at 18% ABV and is available through Cerbaco.
