Jade
Terminus
Oxygénée
Absinthe Supérieure arrives following several years of
historical sleuthing,
botanical research, and patience. This
mature,
handcrafted spirit represents the final release in the Jade Liqueurs®
portfolio of
historically accurate
absinthes.
Jade
Terminus
Oxygénée
Absinthe Supérieure was created as homage to one of the most
interesting absinthes
of the fabled Belle Époque. What
set
this renowned product apart from its peers is that it was highly
publicized as
having been subjected to a specialized hot oxygenation process
originally
believed to render the
final spirit hygienic, and therefore free of any
potentially
deleterious properties.
The original
brand was the subject of widespread publicity, sold at a premium, and
was
exported to various ports around the globe.
Jade
Terminus
Oxygénée
Absinthe Supérieure is artisanally distilled from the same
botanicals as the
original acclaimed oxygenated absinthe, with the addition of a healthy
dose of
a particularly interesting species of wormwood harvested from the
foothills of
the Alps, which contributes to the bold flavor of this handcrafted
absinthe.
Always true to the originals,
Jade Terminus Oxygénée Absinthe
Supérieure is also
subjected to a bespoke hot
oxygenation process that closely mirrors the original technique. And
while this twist from the past asserts
its own character to the spirit, it’s only with long term
maturation that it is
ready for bottling.
Jade Terminus Oxygénée Absinthe Supérieure represents the most powerful expression of the spirit in the Jade portfolio. Bold yet creamy, it features potent aromatics and a lengthy, stimulating aftertaste that recalls the medicinal origins of the spirit. Jade Terminus Oxygénée Absinthe Supérieure is carefully distilled by T. A. Breaux, using the original 19th century absinthe alembics in the historical Combier distillery.
Note:
The flavor of this
absinthe blooms significantly after the bottle has been opened, and a
portion of its contents decanted and allowed to breathe for a day
or two. The flavor will continue to develop even further
over the course of a few more days.
