Production of Maison Verte Absinthe

The base is neutral alcohol made from fine grain or clear wine mash. The distillate reaches purity before the herbs are added. Wormwood forms the heart of the recipe. Fennel and anise provide the core aromas. Lemon balm and peppermint add freshness and leafy fragrance. Vanilla serves as a delicate sweet note in the blend.

The herbs undergo gentle maceration. This is followed by slow copper distillation. Distillation takes place in small copper stills. For the coloring, the master distiller uses fresh herbs for post-coloring. The green tone comes from chlorophyll in the herbs. The finish is completed at a controlled alcohol level. The product is sealed with a precise Stelvin screw cap. Bottling takes place in small batches and ensures consistent quality.

The technique combines traditional craftsmanship with clear, modern logic. The art of distillation emphasizes time and temperature. This allows essential oils and delicate aromas to remain in the essence. The result is rounded, nuanced, and elegant.
