DISTILLERY NOTES

Baba Yaga Genuine Absinthe is distilled traditionally with grand wormwood, anise, fennel, lemon balm, and mint. Blended to 60%Abv the finished spirit is then rested and steeped in more herbs and botanicals yielding it's natural green/ chartreuse colour. (BabaYaga Absinthe is naturally coloured and therefore a natural chlorophyl precipitate may occur in bottle over time)
Prepare by pouring over ice or blending drop wise slowly with ice cold water to release its herbal oils and develop an opal cloud ('louche').

Prominent sweet black liquorice, with herbal notes alongside light citrus and mint.

BC SPIRITS NOTES

This is an old school bottle harking back to one of my first tastings ever. The Arbutus Distillery Baba Yaga is a complex blend of herbs, spices and botanicals that vary from sweet fennel to earthy anise with the addition of mint and lemon balm; it’s very nice on the palate. Could use a little sugar and a slightly thicker louche but overall a good example of BC Absinthe.

Alcohol - 60% / 120 proof

Color - Translucent bright green

Nose - Sweet fennel, earthy anise with hints of mint and lemon balm

Taste - Bold botanicals with that sweet fennel, earthy anise playing with the lemon balm and mint nicely. Great sipping absinthe
