My love of art history drew me to Absinthe.
Artists like Van Gogh, Degas, Manet, Oscar Wilde, & Toulouse-Lautrec were inspired by the Green Fairy.
My curiosity was peaked to experience La Fee Verte for myself.
In 1996, I was invited to a party hosted by the San Francisco Cacophony Society, overflowing with art, music, free-spirited people, & my first Absinthe.
The drink was unlike anything I have ever tasted, or felt.
A unique flavor, a heady effect: relaxing & inspiring.
Exceptionally special.
On April Fool’s Day, 1997, my bootlegging career began.
I was determined to share my love for Absinthe with others, even if it meant taking some risks.
Absinthe was banned in the U.S. & had been for over 85 years.
A rebel with a cause.
I worked underground, made small batches & shared it with a select few who appreciated Absinthe’s unique flavor and effects.
Honoring vintage recipes, I experimented, sourced different herb blends.
The perfect formula emerged.
To my delight, patrons quickly began to take notice.
A following grew.
Then, Absinthe became legal!
It was time to take my passion to the next level.
In 2017, Absinthia Bottled Spirits launched the first of four award-winning Absinthes.
