ALL ABOUT ABSINTHE Perhaps no other spirit sports a reputation as notorious as absinthe. The intoxicant of choice for many decadent fin-de-siecle Paris-based artists including Vincent van Gogh, Paul Verlaine and Oscar Wilde, absinthe, or as it was known back then, “La Fee Verte” -The Green Fairy - was highly sought after for its perceived opiate-like intoxicating qualities.

Join him as he ventures into central Europe to harvest wormwood - the mysterious root responsible for absinthe's mysterious properties - and helps to create a new batch. Of course, much sampling is necessary to appreciate the pleasures of absinthe.
