Absinthe - the evil green fairy?
Absinthe was - and is - still considered by many people to be an inferior spirit that causes hallucinations and drives people crazy. That this is nonsense does not need to be explained here. But where the "fear" of absinthe comes from is already clear.

The reason for this lies in Switzerland. Drinking absinthe was widespread there and heavy consumption sometimes had negative physical consequences. However, this was due to the relatively high methanol content that was found in many spirits at the time due to poor production methods. The thujone content - which is often blamed for the "absinthe madness" - was rarely higher back then than in today's bottlings, as studies have shown. When an alcoholic vineyard worker brutally murdered his pregnant wife and two daughters in 1905, absinthe was blamed. The man had consumed two glasses of it. The fact that he had previously drunk up to five liters of wine and other spirits was kept secret. This would have been bad for wine producers, who were actively involved in a debate about banning it. In the same year, the first countries in Europe banned absinthe, which the USA followed in 1912.

In the years that followed, absinthe almost completely disappeared from the market and its sometimes excellent quality was forgotten. The only thing that stuck in people's minds was that absinthe makes you mad. Until the new century, the myth of absinthe was only kept alive by a few moonshiners who were finally able to convince governments that absinthe was not the "evil" drink they had in mind.

The ban was gradually relaxed and was finally overturned in the USA in 2007.

St. George Absinthe Verte
The artisanal distillery St. George Spirits in California had been preparing for this day. While the sale of absinthe was still prohibited, it was not forbidden to distill it. This was done for the St. George Absinthe Verte. For a full 11 years before sales were permitted again. This time was necessary because producing an absinthe with a distinctive color and a harmonious combination of flavors is a highly complex issue. The experiment was a success and the St. George Absinthe Verte was the first legally produced absinthe to flow from an American still in 95 years. An enormously long period of time, but the wait was worth it!

The St. George Absinthe Verte is produced in the traditional way without artificial additives or other gimmicks. Simply pure absinthe as it should be.

The base alcohol is brandy, which is mixed with wormwood, fennel and star anise. This infusion is then distilled in 1,500 L copper pot stills and then mixed again with herbs and spices. Mint, tarragon, basil, lemon balm, hyssop, meadowsweet and nettle give the St. George Absinthe Verte its color and other flavors.

The taste of the St. George Absinthe Verte

Drunk neat, the Absinthe Verte from St. George Spirits is a strong, herbal hit on the taste buds. No wonder at 60% vol. We therefore recommend mixing the St. George Absinthe Verte with ice water in a ratio of 1:3. This is the only way it can open up and reveal its full flavor. This begins with notes of licorice and develops towards a citrus and herbal profile. Give absinthe - and especially the St. George Absinthe Verte - a chance. You won't be disappointed!

St. George All Purpose Vodka 0,7L 40%

St. George All Purpose Vodka 0.7L 40% History and production of St. George All Purpose Vodka: The craft distillery St. George Spirits was founded in 1982 by the German emigrant Jörg Rupf in sunny California. While the distillery was initially just a small one-man operation, the company now has numerous employees and an impressive production building with its own laboratory, tasting rooms and a large number of its own copper stills. Jörg Rupf and his St. George Spirits distillery are considered co-founders of the modern craft movement in the USA and enjoy enormous respect in the scene, not least thanks to his outstanding products. He recognized very early on that hand-crafted spirits could also prevail against the large corporations. In small quantities and with a lot of passion for his creations, he has created a fascinating range of different products over the years that are unrivalled worldwide. The first-class agricultural products from the area also play a large part in the success of St. George Spirits. Jörg Rupf was particularly enthusiastic about the aromatic pears. They therefore form the basis for St. George All Purpose Vodka. That sounds unusual at first glance, but it makes perfect sense. Jörg Rupf has more than 30 years of experience in dealing with pear brandies. For St. George All Purpose Vodka, the company's award-winning pear brandy is distilled to over 95% alcohol by volume and then carefully filtered. The result is a wonderfully soft, gentle vodka that is absolutely unique due to its slightly floral, fruity note. Taste of St. George All Purpose Vodka: St. George All Purpose Vodka has a fresh, clear aroma. Subtle notes of ripe pears and apples are supported by floral notes. This sets it apart from other available vodkas in an impressive way and creates completely new possibilities for classic and modern cocktail creations with its unique play of aromas.

There is no alcoholic sharpness, rather fruity, sweet notes combined with slightly floral aromas form a harmonious unity. The use of pears ensures an extremely complex and full-bodied characteristic that no other vodka on the market can offer. German craftsmanship at its finest.

St. George California Citrus Vodka 0,7L 40%

St. George California Citrus Vodka 0.7L 40% History and production of St. George California Citrus Vodka: The US company St. George Spirits has been producing unusual spirits of the highest quality for more than 30 years. The German emigrant Jörg Rupf, himself from a family of distillers, fulfilled a long-held dream in the early 1980s when he founded his own distillery in sunny California. The aromatic fruits, which thrive particularly well in California due to the special climate, gave rise to Jörg Rupf's desire to produce high-quality fruit brandies on his own. Over time, the one-man business became a well-run craft distillery with competent employees who create exceptional spirits from Californian fruits with great attention to detail and craftsmanship. In addition to the award-winning "Fruit Brandies", St. George Spirits also produces various vodkas. Among them is the fresh St. George California Citrus Vodka, which is based on Valencia and Seville oranges as well as bergamots from the nearby Lindcove Ranch. In addition to the first-class quality of the fruit, the special production process plays a special role in the taste. Each type of orange is macerated separately in a neutral grain distillate and then finely distilled. Only then are the individual distillates married to obtain the desired taste profile. A final filtering ensures the mild and soft mouthfeel and makes the St. George California Citrus Vodka a perfect ingredient for every conceivable type of cocktail and mixed drink. Taste of the St. George California Citrus Vodka: The St. George California Citrus Vodka presents a clear, fruity aroma of ripe oranges and lemons. The fruit notes are strong, but completely natural. It seems almost unbelievable how intensely the aromas of sun-ripened citrus fruits rise from the glass. The taste of the St. George California Citrus Vodka is mild and soft. The citrus notes are dominant and the predominant taste attribute. The combination of mild sweetness and pleasant acidity ensures a lot of harmony and balance. The texture of the St. George California Citrus Vodka is velvety soft and oily and creates a great, warming mouthfeel with a lot of fruitiness.

St. George Green Chile Vodka 0,7L 40%

St. George Green Chile Vodka 0.7L 40% History and production of St. George Green Chile Vodka: The German emigrant Jörg Rupf fulfilled a long-held dream in 1982 when he founded St. George Spirits, a small craft distillery, in Alameda, California. First, he began producing highly aromatic spirits on his own from locally grown fruit. He had already acquired the knowledge to do this as a member of a distillery family in the Black Forest. At that time, there was no craft movement in the USA and Jörg Rupf is rightly regarded as a co-founder of today's scene due to his achievements. Over time, the small craft distillery grew, output and number of employees increased, new products were created and prizes and awards were won. The basic idea has always been retained: high-quality spirits distilled from locally grown fruit varieties and in small quantities. The St. George Green Chile Vodka is one of the latest creations from St. George. A variety of sweet and hot chili peppers grown in California are macerated in a neutral grain distillate. These include jalapeños, serranos and habaneros. The special thing about it is that each type of chili is distilled individually and only mixed together at the end, according to the desired taste profile. Lime peel and fresh coriander are also added to each macerate and then finely distilled. A final filtration ensures a clear, pure taste without alcoholic spiciness. Taste of the St. George Green Chile Vodka: The St. George Green Chile Vodka has a slightly greenish color due to the complex manufacturing process. The aroma contains both sweet and spicy chili notes, which together with the lime peel and coriander leaves create an unprecedented explosion of aroma. The ripe chili notes are clearly evident in the taste. Above all, the interplay between sweet, aromatic chilies, fruity limes, herbal coriander and the strong spiciness of the habaneros is unique and leaves a taste impression that will be remembered for a long time. The finish is long-lasting and warming, the spiciness increases over time and fades only slowly. Due to its unique taste, the St. George Green Chile Vodka is ideal for cocktail creations with a certain kick. The world-famous Bloody Mary in particular is taken to a whole new level with the St. George Green Chile Vodka and is guaranteed to attract admiring glances.

Michlers Absinth Bohemicum 0,7L 70%

Michler's Absinth Bohemicum 0.7L 70% Drink of the artists Absinthe is a mysterious spirit that is surrounded by many myths, as the distillate is said to have hallucinogenic effects and indescribable states of intoxication. Like many drinks, absinthe was initially drunk as a medicine, developed by a French doctor in Switzerland in the 18th century. However, as the medicine tasted wonderful and was soon preferred as a luxury item, word got around about absinthe and began its crusade to the big European cities like Paris and London. There, the bourgeoisie and artists met in the evening for the ritual drinking of the "green fairy", because when absinthe was mixed with a little water, it turned milky green. Towards the end of the 19th century, a real epidemic broke out; people loved the feeling of intoxication, which was caused not only by the alcohol but also by the neurotoxin thujone contained in wormwood. Miraculous herb The main ingredient in absinthe is wormwood, which is harvested when it has the highest content of the aromatic essential oils. In addition to wormwood, the master distillers at the Albert Michler distillery also use mugwort to soften the strong taste of the wormwood. The raw materials come from the distillery's old homeland, Silesia, today's Poland. Once the two plants have been dried, they are macerated in high-proof alcohol, which causes the herb cells to burst and release their aromas into the alcohol. Maceration is a very effective extraction method for extracting aromas from ingredients that cannot be juiced. The now flavored raw spirit is distilled in traditional stills, which further refines the taste. Natural aroma As the Michler distillery completely avoids additives, its absinthe has a light, natural green coloring from wormwood and mugwort. The distillate offers a wide variety of flavors, with intense herbal notes that are due to the high content of essential oils in the raw materials. Bitter, sweet, spicy and fresh notes harmonize with an intense wormwood aroma on the tongue.
