Distillery 031 Ancestors Absinthe

Ancestors Absinthe is a French-style spirit with a twist of African botanicals, giving it a unique and exciting flavour. Savour it thoughtfully as a sipping spirit, where the botanicals harmoniously balance the natural sweetness of anise with the bitterness of grand wormwood.

• Ancestors Absinthe
• Made in the traditional French style
• Contains unique local botanicals, like African wormwood, a more subtle cousin of European wormwood that is traditionally used; Impepho, a herb used by Zulu herbalists and adds a minty flavour
• The botanicals balance out the natural sweetness of anise with the bitterness of grand wormwood
• Named after the Zulu ancestors, who are supposed to appear in dreams and provide clarity and guidance, just as 'The Green Fairy' was meant to in years past
• Once banned in Europe for the supposedly harmful effects of Thujone, an active ingredient in European grande wormwood, it was unbanned in 1995 following a study proving that the ingredient is not harmful in small amounts
