Description

Van Gogh Absente 55° – An aromatic spirit with hints of aniseed and mint

With Absente 55° Van Gogh, Distilleries et Domaines de Provence offer a contemporary take on traditional absinthe. Produced in Forcalquier, this French speciality highlights the character of the aromatic herbs in a spirit with an alcohol content of 55% vol. Its 70 cl bottle is ideal both for enthusiasts wishing to discover absinthe and for connoisseurs who appreciate powerful herbal profiles.

The recipe is based on distilled absinthe, green aniseed, mint and spices. These ingredients create an aromatic palette where mentholated freshness meets aniseed notes and herbal nuances. The nose is fresh and spicy; on the palate, the aniseed comes through richly, accompanied by a herbaceous quality and a lingering finish. This combination gives Absente a recognisable identity, distinct from simpler aniseed-flavoured drinks.

Absinthe holds a special place in the history of European spirits. Long associated with 19th-century cafés and artists, it has become a symbol of the culture of connoisseurship and creativity. Absente’s Van Gogh-inspired packaging evokes this artistic imagination and recalls the fascination exerted by the Green Fairy. The brand is now produced by a Provençal distillery that crafts a range of spirits inspired by regional plants and traditions.

To appreciate this bottle, the classic ritual involves slowly pouring cold water into the spirit, adjusting the dilution to suit your taste. This method allows you to gradually discover the aromas of aniseed, mint and spices. Absente can also add a distinctive aromatic touch to cocktails, provided it is used sparingly due to its high alcohol content.

Available in a 70 cl bottle, Van Gogh Absente 55° Absinthe is an interesting addition to any collection of French spirits. It combines Provençal character, a rich botanical profile and a presentation inspired by the artistic history of absinthe.
