Moulin Vert Absinthe

As the name suggests, Moulin Vert is a classic green absinthe. It is produced in France according to a traditional recipe. It goes without saying that no artificial additives find their way into this absinthe. No artificial flavors, essences or artificial colorings. Its beautiful green color is solely due to the use of coloring herbs such as hyssop and Artemisia Pontica. The alcohol content is a traditional 68%. At this high content, the absinthe develops its full aroma and the natural green color is best preserved. When ice water is added, Moulin Vert clouds into a dense milky white, which indicates the high content of essential oils.

Overall, Moulin Vert is a strong, fresh absinthe with a slightly bitter top note (wormwood) and aromas of cognac and dark chocolate in the finish. The cognac notes are due to the use of wine alcohol. This high-quality alcohol serves as the basis for the distillation of the herbs. The use of wine alcohol was already a characteristic of particularly high-quality absinthe varieties in historical times. In addition to rounding off the flavor, it also ensures that the absinthe gains in complexity over time through progressive storage. This is definitely an argument for keeping a bottle in reserve in the cellar.

We recommend preparing Moulin Vert with 1-2 sugar cubes. This brings the complexity of the absinthe to perfection with a hint of sweetness.

Moulin Vert Absinthe was awarded the gold medal for best absinthe at the Craft Spirits Awards CSB 2026 and at the Concours International de Lyon 2026.

Moulin Rouge and Moulin Vert absinthe:

During the Belle Époque, many artists professed their love of the Green Fairy and met for the "Heure Verte", the Green Hour, in the bistros of Paris. Probably the most famous Green Fairy venue was the "Moulin Rouge". Famous absintheurs such as Toulouse Lautrec, Baudelaire, Manet and Rimbaud met here to indulge their passion. Moulin Vert takes its name from this famous place of the Green Fairy.
