Vieux Carre Absinthe

The French Quarter, locally known as Vieux Carré, is the soul of New Orleans. Philadelphia Distilling pays tribute to the unique and colorful history of Absinthe in New Orleans with the release of Vieux Carré Absinthe Supérieure, the first legal absinthe to be distilled, bottled and sold on the East Coast of the United States in nearly 100 years.

Vieux Carré’s flavor and color are derived exclusively from 100% natural herbs. The flavor is complex with familiar anise notes and a balance between sweetness from Star Anise and the bitterness of Wormwood. Green and Star Anise, Fennel Doux, Lemon Balm, Genepi, Hyssop and Spearmint complete the complex flavor profile. Vieux Carré is an original artisan spirit that combines historic processes with a modern expertise.

Tasting notes: Anise, fennel, spearmint and lemon balm.

Serving Suggestion: We choose to serve our Vieux Carré in the traditional luche style (slowly diluted with ice cold water over a sugar cube).
