Letherbee's Absinthe Américaine draws its caramel hue from a nine-month stint in American oak casks. A wormwood-forward, sugarless, white absinthe recipe collects additional flavors in the aging process, softening the anise notes to let sumptuous spice and oak layers resonate. Besides the color, the full-sized barrels also imbue the Absinthe with toasty hints of vanilla and caramel. Bottled at 126 proof, the spirit-forward drink is an addictive sipper that can also add intrigue to a variety of cocktails.
