Unleash a spirit steeped in mystique and history with Black Horse Distillery’s Absinthe — a bold and refined expression of tradition and craftsmanship. Our absinthe is meticulously distilled using grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), green anise, and fennel, staying true to the original French and Swiss recipes that captivated artists, writers, and bohemians of the 19th century.
Once banned and misunderstood, absinthe has reclaimed its rightful place as a celebrated spirit. Known as “La Fée Verte” or “The Green Fairy,” it gained legendary status in the Belle Époque era, where it inspired icons such as Van Gogh, Hemingway, and Baudelaire. Its unique herbal complexity and characteristic louche effect — the cloudy transformation when water is added — continue to intrigue and delight connoisseurs.
Black Horse Absinthe is double-distilled in small batches, allowing the intricate balance of botanicals to develop with remarkable depth. The result is a spirit of vibrant character: herbaceous, aromatic, and laced with a touch of natural bitterness. Whether sipped traditionally with iced water or used as a daring addition to cocktails, this absinthe offers a window into a timeless ritual with a modern South African soul.
Tasting Notes:
• Aroma: Aromatic herbs, earthy wormwood, and sweet anise.
• Palate: Balanced and full-bodied with pronounced liquorice, floral bitterness, and a lingering herbal finish.
• Finish: Clean, warming, and sophisticated with echoes of alpine botanicals.
Bottle size: 500ml
Alc/Vol 60%, 120 Proof
Step into the legend. Discover the spirit of the Green Fairy with Black Horse Distillery’s Absinthe.
