Hapsburg Absinthe Blue Cassis 500ml

Hapsburg Absinthe Blue Cassis is a premium, high-strength absinthe that artfully combines the classic herbal notes of traditional absinthe with the rich, fruity essence of cassis (blackcurrant). Bottled at a formidable 89.9% ABV, this vibrant blue spirit is designed for those seeking a distinctive and robust drinking experience.

Tasting Notes

Nose: A delightful aroma that harmoniously blends the herbal complexity of grand wormwood with the sweet, fruity scent of ripe blackcurrants.

Palate: An initial burst of juicy blackcurrant flavour seamlessly transitions into the traditional herbal bitterness characteristic of quality absinthe. The high alcohol content imparts a warming sensation, balanced by the sweetness of the cassis.

Finish: A long-lasting, smooth finish that leaves a pleasant interplay of herbal and fruity notes on the palate.

Serving Suggestions

Given its high alcohol content, Hapsburg Absinthe Blue Cassis is best enjoyed diluted. Traditionally, it can be served with ice-cold water, which transforms the spirit into a milky opalescence known as the “louche.” For a modern twist, mix it into creative cocktails where its unique flavour can shine. Bartenders and mixologists favour the XC range for its versatility and the depth it brings to mixed drinks.
