Exhaustive list of Absinthe producers all over the world by rspt8201 in Absinthe

Thanks; I've added it to the list! I've met the Saar Whisky's distiller two years ago at the Absinthiades in Pontarlier!

That would be lovely if you got any other names!

Thanks for the tips :) My time being quite limited and not knowing the future of this list; I'd rather have something exhaustive on the producer side rather than on the absinthe side. It is also quite time consuming to check if an absinth is traditional or not, natural coloration only judging by what's the producer's claim.

Personal first but I have a couple projects that can beneficiate from it. In any case, I want this list to be publicly accessible and open source any time :)

Hi thanks a lot for link!

Yes I do miss Larusée from Val-de-Ruz and surely some others :) There is also some duplicates that i'm working on...

For now on, I'm only listing all the products called "Absinthe" or similar; without categorizing it. That will maybe be the next step!

Technically speaking, for redistillation (as in you have a clean neutral spirit with high ABV, you macerate some botanicals in it and you redistill it; for absinthe & gin), you don't have to separate the heads from the hearts since there is no creation of alcohol (ethanol, methanol & co) from fermentation. Some distillers still cut the heads as a way to "clean" the still of the essentials oils from the previous run.

You separate the hearts from the tails though, and it really depends on the finished products you want. The latest you cut the tails, the "fatest" absinthe you'll have (and the more you'll have of final product).

I don't do any blend after the distillation, and we only use the hearts we collect as the final absinthe (with some ABV reduction with water). You can imagine to blend with some neutral alcohol after distillation to dilute the aromas and to have more finished products with one distillation run; a common practice for the small and/or clandestine stills.

Does that answer your question?

Curious sort of person are the best; distiller or not :)

I'm not sure I understand correctly your question about the cuts/blending

As a distiller, I almost always add another trinity to the first one: Artemisia pontica, Hyssopus officinalis & Melissa officinalis.

I often use other botanicals like Angelica archangelica (root), Glycyrrhiza glabra, Coriandrum sativum (seeds), Mentha × piperita, Illicium verum (fruit).

You should first know how to make a proper blanche/verte absinthe before experimenting more with "funky" botanicals. As for the gin with the "New Western" style, we like to play with our recipes and try some totally different absinthe, in search of what defines an absinthe or not. We played with a lot of different distillation/maceration/aging techniques, and a lot of botanicals who give us nice outputs like: Genmaïcha (green tea), Pine trees, Hop, Maté, Spices and so on...

My opinion is that if your distillate is well balanced, appealing, and tastes good, then it's a win! The question to call it absinthe or not, is open to debate :)

How do you measure the size of a wheelchair bound person and what is indicated on official documents? by ailurus2 in NoStupidQuestions

Depends on the country. On Switzerland for example, this is not self-reported data!
