Absinthe liqueur in rustic bottle from Austria, produced by the private distillery Thomas Prinz - schnapps distiller with passion - from Hörbranz. With 50% vol. this Absinthe is not as strong as others of its kind.

Absinthe is a spirit made with wormwood extracts, which experienced its peak in the 18th century. It gets its typical taste from the addition of star anise, fennel and other herbs. For a long time absinthe was used as a drug because of the neurotoxin thujone contained in wormwood. Banned for decades, this stimulating drink is now experiencing a renaissance, after it has been permitted again in Germany since 1998 with a modified recipe and a lower proportion of thujone.
