Herbsaint Original Liqueur 100Pf
Herbsaint Original is the liqueur that defined New Orleans cocktail culture — and the formula that started it all. Created by J. Marion Legendre in the 1930s as America's answer to absinthe after the spirit was banned, Herbsaint has remained a defining cocktail ingredient of New Orleans ever since. Production relies on maceration of fresh herbs — primarily star anise, fennel, and wormwood — in neutral spirits, followed by distillation and blending with additional botanicals, a method that yields a noticeably deeper and more complex anise character than the standard Herbsaint bottling. Bottled at 100 proof compared to the standard version's 90, the Original Formula emphasizes wormwood bitterness and a drier, more complex botanical finish. The palate is boldly anise-forward, balanced by sweet notes of vanilla and caramel, with mint and green herbs providing a cool, fresh contrast, finishing long and warming with lingering anise and a touch of peppermint. It remains essential for the classic Sazerac, where it serves as the traditional absinthe rinse. Buy Herbsaint Original Liqueur online with fast shipping right to your door.
