Founded in 2013, Honeoye Falls Distillery now produces true-to-form absinthe for those looking for authenticity. Their neutral spirit base Verte is colored using mint, hyssop, petite wormwood and lemon balm. The flavor is sweet anise and fennel giving way to a slight wormwood bitterness that is ideal for preparing a traditional French/Swiss absinthe. With its herbal and balanced flavor profile, La Cascade Verte is a traditionally distilled absinthe cooked in copper pot stills.
