| Comments from the Maker/Distributor | Our Handcrafted Absinthe Verte is prepared following the traditions of European Master Distillers of the 19th Century. We start with our aromatic eau-de-vie, placing it in our small 150 liter copper potstill, carefully adding the traditional Absinthe Verte herbs: Anise, Grande Wormwood, and Sweet Fennel, together with a number of proprietary botanicals.
The herbs are gently distilled at a high alcoholic strength, capturing the essential aromas and oils that are in the very heart of our hand selected flowers and herbs. These herbs are grown and harvested in the fields of Spain, France, and Western Europe, and the unmistakable aromas of these peaceful European meadows are captured in every bottle of our Absinthe Verte.
Before the Absinthe Verte is bottled, it must undergo a coloring step. Many commercial absinthes are colored artificially. Ours is colored in the most traditional manner by placing our hand-selected coloring herbs, Hyssop, Melissa, and Roman Wormwood, in cheesecloth and steeping the blend in warmed Absinthe Verte. These coloring herbs strengthen the floral aromas and citrusy undertones of the finished Absinthe Verte. The high alcohol content of the Absinthe Verte leaches chlorophyll from the plant material, turning our Absinthe Verte into a wholly natural, vibrant green color that is similar to the gemstone, Peridot. This unique hue is one of the reasons that French Impressionists of the Belle Époque took so strongly to traditionally prepared, handcrafted Absinthe Verte.

Editor review
Batch 11: A wonderful improvement!
|
10 of 11 people found the following review helpful
This review has been edited tin include my thoughts on Batch 11 and how they compared to the original review of Batch 4.
UPDATED REVIEW:
Color: I was very excited to see the new color of this absinthe. Obviously the coloration step was cut down dramatically, leading to a much cleaner, brighter, vibrant emerald green. Very inviting.
Louche: As I expected, the louche has now become spot on. Very nice trails, good layering and a nice, milky green final product.
Aroma: This has also improved with the lighter coloration. The coloring herbs aren't as dominant. You can pick up more anise as well.
Flavor: Definitely more anise in this batch, while the wormwood still stay in the forefront. Packs a punch from the white pepper taste of coriander, but not at all in a bad way.
Finish: The anise lingers a bit more than last time and plays with the mintiness of the wormwood and the peppery coriander. Nice and refreshing.
Overall: This is leaps and bounds above the Batch 4. One of the top offerings in the US, without a doubt. I highly recommend picking up a bottle. It should be included in any absinthe tasting get-together.
ORIGINAL REVIEW:
I was lucky enough to get a couple of bottles of batch 4 this past week.
Presentation notes: I really like the label and the bottle. While the clear glass might lead to a quicker fuille morte, a comment made by the distiller suggests that they will be putting a small pamphlet on the neck of the bottle explaining the effects of sunlight on vertes. A nice history blurb on the back label as well.
Color: (2) The color is definitely too deep. They sat on the coloring herbs a bit too long. This is an acknowledged issue that should be corrected in future batches. While too dark, it is not unattractive.
Louche: (3) The louche builds up very nicely. It's a bit murky, due to the strong coloration, but it forms well. As the coloring step is corrected, the louche should be wonderful.
Aroma: (4) The aroma packs a nice punch of wormwood, veronica and melissa. I'd like to pick up some more anise, but that also is supposed to be adjusted in coming batches.
Flavor: (3) So far, this absinthe has the strongest wormwood profile of any of the US absinthes. I was very pleasantly suprised. It's an enjoyable flavor, but a bit off balance, as there is a lack of anise in this batch. Due to the coloration, you definitely pick up a lot of veronica as well.
Finish: (4) The finish is very fresh and clean with a pleasant minty wormwood bitterness.
Overall: (3) I see this absinthe as one with great promise. While this batch does have some faults to it, the distiller has already picked up on them and has adjusted the anise and coloration for future batches. It's a good start. I'm looking forward to seeing how the upcoming batches evolve. They should be quite good.
BATCH 4 FINAL SCORE: 3.1

A pleasing introduction to the world of absinthe

Batch 28
Prepared at both a 1:1 ratio with sugar.
Initial impressions: I found the bottle for the Leopold Bros. quite pretty to look at, the way it tapers being very pleasing to the eye. I’m also quite fond of the home printed look of the label and found myself quite impressed by the fact that the batch number is hand printed on the bottle.
Color: This offering is a quite gorgeous, clear shade of peridot. Quite natural looking and enticing. To be quite honest I spent a good amount of time simply admiring the color of the absinthe in the bottle before I even opened it.
Louche: I found the louche effect to be very entertaining. It starts off slowly, with plenty of oil trails swirling in the glass, and once it begins to turn milky it happens rather quickly, becoming a very pretty golden jade color. Overall once the louche is complete the drink is a pretty opalescent color with a clear layer sitting right at the top that can be seen when held up to the light.
Aroma: Upon initially opening the bottle for the first time this absinthe has a very pleasant anise fragrance. It is strong, without being overpowering. After the bottle had a chance to breathe for a few days I was able to pick out more citrus, lime I think, and slightly floral notes. Once water is added the anise fragrance opens up a little more and more of the spicy notes can be found. I found as I smelled the fragrance I could almost taste the flavors associated with the scents, and any drink that can do that is good in my humble opinion.
Flavor: The first flavor that hit’s the tongue is anise, with a slight bit of the wormwood bitterness. The citrus flavor comes through towards the middle and I can almost swear I taste a bit of floral and something that resembles honey combined that I’ve decided must be clover blossom, though it could just be me. At the end you get more of the wormwood and a spicy, almost peppery flavor that I figure must be coriander. Overall a very enticing flavor combination.
Finish: The anise flavor lingers in the mouth quite a while. There is a bit of coating and tongue tingling from the spiciness of the coriander, but it is not at all unpleasant, and while the wormwood is still present the bitterness isn’t overpowering.
Overall: A very good and I would say traditional absinthe, though I have no real basis for comparison at the moment. I found it to be a quite enjoyable, even delightful introduction to the world of absinthe and look forward to procuring another bottle as soon as possible. In fact, I find myself wishing I had bought two in the first place!

Leopold...A Glass Good to Hold!

Batch 25
Served at 3:1, no sugar needed here, but I enjoyed it with sugar as well.
Color: Medium crystal clear peridot. Very pretty.
Louche: Wonderful. First, curling trails ands jellies. A slow smoky build from the bottom up with clear thick layers, melding together perfectly at the end. Opal like refraction, perfect density and magical shade of light green.
Aroma: Clean, inviting and yummy. Wormwood, anise and light spice in that order.
It filled the room while the louche was forming.
Flavor: A very strong, but tasty wormwood right in the front...more than I've seen in any other American absinthe. Anise, fennel and spice follow...I think I'm detecting a touch of melissa as well. It is sweet, lightly spicy, wonderfully herbal, and a ping of citrus.
Finish: Nice light, tangy finish. . A lingering citrus and slight numbing and bitterness.
Clean and crisp. Plenty of wormwood here as well.
Overall: A really good offering, and a great absinthe if you like a wormwood forward profile. Very well-crafted for certain. I'm glad I bought two bottles!

Batch #14: Beautiful, complex and rich
|
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful
Color: Pale green to light olive. Brilliant clarity with a ghostly swirl of dark green sediment, but not off-putting. Very classy presentation with the wide-shouldered clear glass bottle.
Louche: A bit slow to develop, moderately cloudy, nice layering; beyond 3:1, bluish hints appear in the cloud.
Aroma: (Neat) Anise up front, fresh fennel, new-cut grass, grape spirit, honey, wormwood, maybe a bit of lemon balm. Very little alcohol sting. A lime oil citrus emerges. (Louched) More of the honey sweetness comes forth, but some of the grassy quality recedes. Lemon balm becomes more pronounced. A bit of woodiness, like old mahogany – not unpleasant, and quite interesting.
Flavor: (Unsweetened) Grassy, haylike in a very pleasant way. Full, oily mouthfeel. Coating, anise sweetness gives way to a wormwood and lime oil bitterness. Slight numbing sensation, but the flavors are so fresh, I’m inclined to restrict the louche to no more than a 3:1 ratio.
Finish: Anise and fennel linger with a persistent sweetness, along with an almost horseradish-like punch, possibly from the wormwood. I’m loving the smoothness of the base spirit here – even at 2:1, there is warmth but no hint of a burn.
Overall: Great job distilling this one – I’m assuming there’s some modest aging that goes on, because while fresh and complex, it's very easy to drink. Probably my nearly empty bottle has contributed to this by giving the remaining absinthe plenty of time to breathe a bit and mellow, but even the freshly-opened stuff was surprisingly good. I'll be getting this again, and I hope Leopold Brothers doesn't make too many changes in subsequent batches - I think batch #14 is pretty close to spot-on.

US' vertes' realm ruler (so far)
|
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful
Colour: Natural green with a yellow edge. Pleasant to look at, so no complaints. Upon addition of water it louches. Opalescence in its pure form. Neither too opaque nor too thin. Unlike the most of commercial brands, it has a beautiful green tinge, no chalkiness, no whitiness
Louche: Delicate, yet slightly hasty. At 1:1 leaves a nice unlouched layer on top, then gets muddy but in a positive sense.
aroma: Herbaceous with veronica and pontica notes, anise in the back. Something citrusy is apparent what I attribute to pisco. Still, inviting and not too overpowering.
Flavour: Robust, as a grain advocate, I must admit pisco lends the boldness that marries well with herbacousness/spiciness and mitigates the citrusy flavour-that is very prevalent when you take Leopold neat. Cannot decide on the perfect water ratio but it seems to be 1:2-1:3.5, otherwise the herbs got lost.
Finish: Wormwood is perceptible so is pontica, fennel gets very subdued, but anise is discrete enough. A glass offers a wide array of tastes, nuances.
Overall: Right direction. So far in the US Leopold rules the vertes' realm. However, some development is desired and welcomed.

A work in progress....
|
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
I have to say I am somewhat disappointed with Leopold's absinthe. I've been reading a lot of good reviews about batch-by-batch improvements to the product, but as of #14, there is still a long way to go.
The color and louche are fine. The drink begins an attractive olive green and with the addition of water becomes a pleasing yellowish jade. The louche process yields all the expected "oil trails" and visual theatrics.
The flavor and aroma, however, are way out of balance. There is something overwhelmingly leafy or grassy in the scent and taste of this absinthe, which largely obscures whatever might be going on with the anise, wormwood, and so forth. Perhaps with time this will "air out" a bit, and if it does, I will update my review accordingly, but for now, I'm afraid I have to give the Leopold low marks.
The finish is acceptable, but the grassy quality lingers. Overall, I think this absinthe shows promise, but it's very much a work in progress.

Batch #8. Amazing aroma, delicate taste
|
1 of 1 people found the following review helpful
A 40ml dose louched with 160ml chilled water, unsweetened for this review.
Aroma (pre-louche): The aroma is completely free of any alcohol harshness. The grape foundation is allowed to shine through a spicy vegetal aroma, the combination reminds me a lot of frehly opened
orsnge flavored dark chocolate. This is a really wonderful aroma.
Very smooth and inviting. Whether or not it smells like "the ideal absinthe" is likely a matter for more knowledgable discussion, but
it definitely smells just wonderful.
Color (pre-louche): This is a little darker than I believe is optimal, peridot with a tinge of brown/dark olive, but not unpleasant.
Louche: The louche forms evenly, with wicked and thick "refractive artifacts" that bring on the cloudiness gradually. There is not a billowing of fog from the bottom as much as an "onset" which becomes the "always expected but startingly so" beatiful green tinged louche. There is less of the "meniscus" effect than in some, but it is still evident. A thick, beautiful colored louche that you will want to see
over and over.
Post-louche aroma: Very clean, herbal with clearer notes of fennel, wormwood and anise. The anise is evident, but not overpowering. There are some nice, delicate flowery notes, very pleasant.
Flavor: A distinctly herbal flavor, very fresh. The wormwood is
evident at the core of a spectrum of flowery, spicy and herbal flavor.
Fennel is very evident up front. A very nice anise that acts not so
much as a centerpiece for the flavor but as a "mesh" that holds it
together: subdued but definitely present. The aroma indicates a
natural sweetness that is maybe more psychological, but I'd say this
is one that could go unsweetened very easily.
Finish: I like to dilute to 12-13%, and because of this the finish will be less prolonged than with a lesser dilution. But it also seems like the prominent notss in the finish are easier to pick out. Even at this dilution, this has a wonderful fading of the fennel and herbal mist, with a wormwood flourish beneath a rising anise note, which gradually diminishes.
Overall: This has got to be at least a "4". It is a wonderful aroma, a very nice louche, a pleasant and complex flavor that has unique aspects.
Is it worth a premium price over, say, Lucid? Not an exhorbitant premium, I think, but it is absolutely in a higher tier: a more intricate and delicate set of flavors that takes full advantage of
the grape-based pedigree.

Batch 11...They're getting better and better!
|
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful
This absinthe has come a long way since batch #4, particularly regarding the color, which is now a nice shade of peridot, although it could be a bit more vibrant.
The nose is still a bit dominated by the Pisco base, and this carries through into the flavor, but I happen to really to enjoy the buttered rum ester that it imparts into the absinthe, and I find that it really works well with the herbs. Those herbs seem to be of very good quality, although the wormwood is not of the standout variety, like the Pontarlier, or the Piedemont used in L'Italienne.
The louche is very nice, thick,and gradual although there isn't the volcanic snow-globe action seen in the best of them. The mouthfeel is very creamy, and substantial, however, and the flavor, and finish are hearty, and put me in mind of rum toddies. This is my definitive winter absinthe, except perhaps for my favorite Berger clone.
Todd plans to do a little further rectification of the base once the present barrels are depleted, and I really look forward to tasting whether that allows the herbage to shine through a bit more in future batches.
Kudos to him for being so receptive to suggestions given to him on the forums, and I wish more distillers, who are relatively unfamiliar with the creation of absinthe, would follow his lead.

Batch #8 and batch #10
|
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful
This review is an amalgam of a side-by-side review I did of Leopold's batches #8 & #10. Where the ratings differ, I averaged them. While the coloring issues have been addressed in more recent batches, the reviewed batches are still available for purchase. #8 was from a 750ml bottle open for a month, #10 was from a sample bottle. Both were carafe-dripped with no sugar.
Color: #8: Olive with some earthy brown tinge (early feuille mort?). Attractive. (longer coloring step, though not the longest of the batches)
#10: Emerald, very pretty. (shorter coloring step, though not the shortest of the batches)
Louche: #8: Gradual initial stage, then full force.
#10: Nice billows, some separation, full force soon after.
Aroma: #8: Strong but pleasant. Slight tea-like scent at start of inhalation, becoming more fruity. Scent of bitterness in the background.
#10: More anise than #8, a little less fruity (due to it being "younger"?). Both are a delight to sniff, though because #8 is from a bottle that has aged a little, I find it more appealing.
Flavor: #8: Very pleasant bitterness, some evergreen undertones, a subtle "starchy" feel, though not displeasing. Nuanced, though I can't place all that's going on. This one begins slow and ends strong.
#10: Brighter, younger flavor, some vegetal (sp?) notes (a hint of green/string bean? I did eat a lot of these this summer, though not right before the tasting.) More anise than #8, pleasant bitterness as the primary flavor. Began strong, ends less strong.
Finish: #8: Some numbing, slight creaminess and wanting more, subtle flavors linger for a short while then vanish, leading you to another sip.
#10: My notes don't differ between the two with regards to finish, though there were some subtle differences I can't quite put into words. My rating in this area may reflect my lack of experience specifically with "finish."
Overall: I really enjoy this absinthe in spite of wanting more creaminess and a slightly longer finish. I'm happy this was my first wormwood-forward absinthe, and it won't be the last--nor will it be the last bottle of Leopold's I buy.

Batch #4, early effort shows great promise
|
5 of 5 people found the following review helpful
Following Shabba's lead, I'm updating my review based on a tasting of batch #10. Original review was of batch #4.
UPDATED REVIEW, batch #10
Color: The color is much improved in batch 10 over batch 4. Color is bright and clear, green leaning towards olive green. The color is very natural. Personally I like a more true green, something like the Duplais Balance, over the olive hue, but the color of batch 10 is appropriate.
Louche: Ice cold water drip from a sports bottle, the louche started out very nice with the expected trails, swirls, and billowing. There was some layering, but the show was over relatively quickly. The completed louch had a much nicer opacity than batch 10; the finished batch 10 was dark but still fairly translucent, while the finished bacth 4 was rich and milky. The color of the finished glass leans a bit to the yellow. It's a 4, but for me it was a low 4.
Aroma: I love the aroma, still probably my favorite absinthe aroma. Neat, there is more anise now, but this is still not a hugely anise-y absinthe. There is still a beautiful sweet perfumey smell that I suspect is from the base alcohol. The aroma does seem less "honey-ish" than I remember from batch 4. Other spicy herbal character is evident. During the louche the aroma exploded from the glass. After louche, the aroma was very true to the pre-louche aroma. The old batch 4 had a bit of a "weak tea" aroma that I don't notice in batch 10.
Flavor: More anise and generally more appropriate than batch 4, although still favoring the wormwood -- I wouldn't complain if there were even a bit more anise. The flavor can hold up to quite a bit of water. Nicely herbal and spicy.
Finish: Long and complex, without heavy clinging or numbing. As expected following the wormwood presence in the flavor, the finish tends towards dry and spicy/bitter. I'd go to a 5 if there were just a bit more anise in the finish.
Overall: I was a little surprised at first; with such a different color and different louche appearance, I was expecting a very different absinthe than batch 4. However, it's clear that this is still Leopold Bros. absinthe, and the changes were tweaks to the balance and color, not a different formula (evolution, not revolution). All of the promise that I saw in the original tasting of batch 4 has been relized in batch 10. It's still big on the wormwood, but there is enough anise there now that you know this is absinthe, and the visual aspects (color and louche) are much more appropriate now. Definitely a winner!
ORIGINAL REVIEW, batch #4
NOTE: this review is for batch #4. Leopold Bros. state that the formulation has been changed beginning with batch #7 to address some issues with color and balance.
This review is condensed from some tasting notes that I posted in the forum.
(Color 2) In the glass, neat, the color is on the dark side, with a hint of olive-brown. There is nothing artificial about the color, and it is not unattractive, but it is too dark.
Aroma, neat. Wow. The Leopold is incredible. At 65% alc., it seemed quite volatile. There were times when I had to take my nose away from the glass. I wouldn't really call it an alcohol "burn" as it wasn't unpleasant at all, just very intense. There was anise there, but not as up-front as I'm used to in something like the Kübler or even the Lucid. What I was really noticing was an aroma that came across to me as honey, sweet and delicious. Might this be a character of the base? Whatever it was, I really liked it. I would love to give this a 5, because the aroma was beautiful and I spent a lot of time enjoying it, but the need for more anise pushes it to a 4. I can't bring myself to give it a "3" for unbalanced.
Louched (3) up to about 4 or 4.5:1. The Leopold took quite a bit of water before it started to cloud, but then it started clouding all at once. I was going pretty slowly, dripping ice water from a sports bottle. I never got any separation/layering in the louche. When finished, the Leopold was a bit dark, and leaning towards the brown. I must say that when finished, the Leopold was probably the least attractive glass of absinthe I have louched. A stronger, better layering louche should result from a bump in the anise.
Aroma (4) after louche. I'm still not familiar with the absinthe herbs, so I just have to go with descriptors that are familiar to me. After the wonderful pre-louche aroma, the Leopold didn't disappoint. The honey-ish aroma that I detected was still there, muted a bit but still very obvious. Anise is maybe coming through a bit more, but still not as up-front as I would expect. Lots more herbal character coming through now, I though I picked up orange at one point (my wife thought she detected citrus as well), and maybe dill? Overall, a very nice aroma, easily my favorite absinthe aroma to this point, although more anise would probably be more appropriate.
Flavor (2). The Leopold hits immediately with what to me was a huge wormwood character, more bitter than any absinthe I've had. The mouthfeel is very nice, I think I'm finally starting to understand what people describe as "creamy", this one doesn't have the immediate clinging-to-the-sides-of-the-tongue that I've noticed with some of the others. As hinted at by the aroma, the anise is not as strong as I'd like, but it is there. There seems to be lots of other herbal character there, but it's unfamiliar to me and I think I'm a bit worn out at this point. Very pleasant to drink, I don't think it's necessarily too bitter but it would be improved by bringing the anise character up quite a bit to stand up to the other flavors. The strong wormwood would probably allow this absinthe to hold up well for those who like to add sugar.
Finish (4). Leopold Bros. has a nice long finish with drying bitterness, but I think it's a nice bitterness, lingering but not too astringent. Again, anise is weak, but other herbs are there and the finish is complex and enjoyable.
Overall (3), I really enjoyed the Leopold Bros. Absinthe Verte. The aroma is incredible, it's worth getting a bottle just for the aroma. Not so sure what happened with the louche, I'll try again and see if I have a nicer, prettier louche experience next time. Finished color is not as appealing as other absinthes I've had. Flavor and mouthfeel are very nice, and if the anise were kicked up a bit, I think I could finally say that I have a favorite. Leopold has said that the balance and color have been tweaked in batch 7 and later, so be aware that this review is for batch 4, very early in the Leopold Bros. Absinthe Verte lifetime.
