Absinthe Brevans A O Spare

Absinthe Brevans A O Spare is the second absinthe in the Brevans series and, like the H R Giger, is also dedicated to a well-known artist, the English painter Austin Osman Spare, who died in 1956. The first batch was distilled on Spare's birthday (December 30th) and was released on April 3rd 2009. The formula was based on a protocol from the well known French distiller's manual "La Fabrication des Liqueurs" by J. De Brevans, dating back to 1897. It uses botanicals cultivated to ECO standards; no sugar or artificial substances are employed. The result is a nicely complex yet smooth, harmonic and mellow absinthe. We're sure A O Spare would have been proud and most likely would have enjoyed this absinthe himself! We would like to thank Ossian Brown for letting us use one of Spare's most important paintings "Astral Body and Ghost" for the label!
