Copper & Kings American Brandy Co. Launches Absinthe

Thursday, October 2, 2014
American brandy makers Copper & Kings have launched a new product, called Absinthe Blanche. This small batch, double copper pot-distilled spirit pairs a Muscat brandy base with classic absinthe botanicals including grande wormwood, anis, fennel and hyssop. These standards are mixed with additional signature accents, and the resultant blend non-chill filtered with no post-distillation infusions if color or flavor.

“Absinthe is just so much more rock n’ roll than gin,” said Copper & Kings owner Joe Heron. “An unconstrained spirit should not be inhibited completely by tradition. We do not believe in consumption rules. We encourage drinkers to enjoy our absinthe on the rocks, as a julep or other imaginative or traditional serving rituals.”

$54.99 for 750 mL bottle

A confident, small batch American absinthe hand-crafted from double copper-pot distilled, non-chill filtered Muscat brandy with traditional botanicals together with signature accents for a rich, seductive and uncorrupted flavor with no post-distillation infusions, sugar, colorants or flavors added.

Aroma: Herbaceous, pastoral and subtle layering absinthe notes with a Muscat bouquet and spicy hints of black pepper.

Taste: Slightly restrained anis and faintly bitter with a hint of mint and typical licorice with black pepper spice. Not syrupy sweet.

Finish: Creamy with natural viscosity and black pepper and fresh licorice through the back end.

Serving suggestion: An unconstrained spirit should not be inhibited completely by tradition. Enjoy on the rocks with a citrus twist, as a julep with crushed ice and generous mint, or in classic and imaginative cocktails of choice.
