Griottini Absinthe Cherry Liqueur





Griottini Absinthe Cherry Liqueur....$33.99
Griottini is an exceptional blend of Absinthe and Cherry Liqueur.
This is a bold blend of cherries and Absinthe - the typical anise flavor of absinthe enlivened with a hint of bitterness provided by the cherry liqueur. Due to the selection of its ingredients, Griottini is for those looking for the perfect balance between herb and fruit liqueurs and between sweet and bitter flavors.

This aperitif is the achievement of Master Distillers with unique knowledge and produced by Grandes Distilleries PEUREUX, a French company founded in 1864. Absinthe was one of PEUREUX's specialtied before the drink was banned in the early 20th century.

Griottini is obtained using raw materials that are selected with utmost care. The recipe is the traditional one that has been used by our ancestors, but it uses the latest technology ensuring high quality.

Many plants, finely selected, come into the production of Griottini: wormwood, green anis, star anis, fennel, gentian, our mugwort. After a maceration of several hours in alcohol, the plants and seeds are distilled. Then an infusion of plants is added that brings the color. Then, as in the past, 9 months of aging is necessary to enhance the aromas of the plants and seeds.

A revival of absinthe began in the 1990s, following the adoption of modern EU food and beverage laws that removed longstanding barriers to its production and sale. The new Green Fairy comes out now with the red dress – indicating the Cherry side – of GRIOTTINI. The fairy is the green halo that forms during the dilution with water, evoking the silhouette of a fairy.
