Bairnsfather Rose Bitter Absinthe 1l

Bairnsfather Rose Bitter Absinthe is an original Czech absinthe with 55 % alcohol that combines classic absinthe tradition with a delicate fruity charm in the finish.

Production takes place in the Czech Republic, where traditional absinthe is originally produced by macerating a mixture of herbs – wormwood, green anise, and fennel – in high-proof alcohol, followed by distillation. Bairnsfather was the first to market a "Bitter" variant with a thujone content of 32–35 mg/kg, which significantly enhances the bitter herbal layer of absinthe.

However, what really sets this absinthe apart is its unusual second maceration – not with herbs, but with a colorful mixture of natural fruits. This innovative approach gives the drink a complex fruity taste and aroma and ensures its 100 % natural red color.

The aroma is dominated by intense herbal and spicy notes – wormwood with a distinctive herbal aroma, complemented by hints of anise and fennel, which underline the traditional aromatic structure of absinthe. It is typically dry, refreshing with a smooth herbal presence.

The taste is bitter, with a pronounced increase in wormwood and spicy notes. The structure is robust, full of herbs, without a pronounced sweet background, but with a fruity aftertaste.

Alcohol content 55 % ABV, with the maximum permitted thujone content, which enhances the typical bitter taste of absinthe.

Intended more for connoisseurs who prefer traditional dryness and a pure herbal palette without sweet or fruity elements. Ideally served diluted with ice water (the classic "louche" effect) or as part of absinthe cocktails.

Bottles have a volume of 1 l.
