Bairnsfather Absinth 1l

Bairnsfather Absinth is a traditional Czech absinthe handcrafted at the Bairnsfather Distillery in Domašov near Jeseník. This authentic herbal liqueur with an alcohol content of 55% is made according to a classic 19th-century recipe, preserving the original character of this legendary drink.

It is produced by macerating natural herbs – primarily wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), anise, and fennel, complemented by other aromatic herbs such as mint, lemon balm, and coriander. Instead of distillation, a long infusion of the plants in fine grain alcohol is used, which gives the drink depth and an intense herbal profile.

The color is bright green, naturally obtained from chlorophyll. The aroma features dominant notes of wormwood, sweet anise, and fennel, complemented by a subtle freshness of mint and a grassy undertone. The taste is full, distinctly herbal, with a bitter-sweet balance and a gentle touch of sweet wood.

Bairnsfather Absinth is best enjoyed the traditional way – pour 30 ml of absinthe into a glass, place a sugar cube on a special spoon, and slowly drizzle ice-cold water in a ratio of 1:3 to 1:5, to taste. The drink will turn milky cloudy (louche effect), revealing the full aroma of the herbs. It can also be served in modern cocktails, for example with tonic or citrus liqueur.

The thujone content is around 8 – 10 mg/kg.
