THE RITUAL
The absinthe ritual
Four centuries of tradition distilled into a timeless ceremony. The gesture, the cloud it summons, the ceremony that holds them, and the craft behind the glass.
The Pour
The Dilution Ritual
The slow ritual of water over absinthe, sometimes over a cube of sugar resting on a slotted spoon, reveals the legendary louche.
With each measured drop, aromas awaken and the absinthe reveals its delicate balance and its true colour.
