Awesome. Great memories with you guys. You nailed it Jesse as always.
Happy Distilling
Speaking of memories, I didn't remember doing the tasting, haha!
Was a pleasure George :)
For those interested, Tujone is allowed in the European Union within the limits of 35mg/l for Amari and 10 mg/l for liqueurs. Curiously, absinthe was forbidden in Italy only in 1939, it was always allowed, though, in the various vermouths. The typical products by Martini, Campari, Carpano etc. still contain, and always have contained, absinthe in their recipe.
I literally started watching Still It, and picked up a still from Mile HI just for making my own whiskey and absinthe. This video pleases me. :)
Jessica is a Boss at her job.
Thank You. I learned a lot!
Cheers: Jesse, George, B&B and Jessica.
Thanks! It's good to be boss ;)
@@jessicaleighg Hope all is well with you and your family & friends!
Cheers!
Really looking forward to seeing your process making it at home!
Really love seeing you three guys collaborating on spirits and sharing your knowledge.
Love the diversity in what ya'll sample and places ya'll visit! Keep up the awesome videos!
For a small Distillery you know that's got to be a lot of fun giving a tour to three troublemakers like you guys .. the moment the still opened up all three of you guys were sticking your face in it.. and as a group you guys are a lot more adventurous with high-proof and flavors... in producing your own Spirits that's one of the things that I've noticed is that I'm a lot less critical of trying new liquors and things ..I wanna taste the mash/wash ..straight from the still .. there is just so many different flavors I think the good / bad aspect is not as strong anymore....except for malort and Baijiu
Right?? I often prefer to taste something different than something I know I like.
Alright folks, THIS is how you make a distillery tour video! Man, I really need a better camera, LoL😂 Great job Jesse!
Your vid is awesome man
I'm with Jesse man it was an awesome vid bearded
@@OutDoorsMan1342 You guys are very cool:-)
Ahhh yes, remember the pre-Corona days when you can have a taste your friends drink with it fear of death... better yet you could meet up at a bar for a few... the good old days
Great video, keep them coming!
Never tried absinthe but keen as now , another great colab, the 3 amigos 🥃👍🏼
I think we settled on the three stooges haha. Thanks man :)
Jessica is great and makes a damn fine absinthe. She can teach you tons!
Aww, shucks!
Thanks for bringing us along.
I love absinthe! It's a perfect hot weather drink, when diluted. The herbal-anise thing is really refreshing.
Yeah it's surprisingly refreshing definitely
Cant wait to see you make it . The clear one please . Love seeing it turn milky from Crystal clear ..
Yeah it's fun man. A experience :)
Really loved this video , thanks for sharing!
Thanks Mark :)
Something new for me to try. Thanks
Something worth trying man it's not your thing..... perhaps it is
you know what they say, Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder
Kia ora bro. Love the vids and info, keep it up.
Seeing all three of you together makes me think that youtube is infact a little planet.
Holy crap! 3 legends! 😲
haha she's so chill i love it
We may have had a large night before this
Not how I'm usually described, but I'll take it.
@@StillIt Y'all had quite the week!
I'd love to see you make this 👍
So, it's a perfect stuff (anise, licorice concentrate) for lactating women! Spread the word!! 😄 Excellent craft!
Thought I'd share this, distillers might be interested at the end.
I learned from the Obsello video "Absinthe: The Legend of the Green Fairy" Absinthe (the cheaper drink) out sold French wine sales by 1910. The wine industry stepped in and drove Absinthe out world wide by 1915. This might be the what and how that started all the stories and myths.
I do remember learning years ago how a lumber company went to war against a plant that could out produce wood pulp for paper on an almost 100:1 ratio. Now Obsello.com is up for sale. Even Wikipedia is considering deleting it's Obsello Absenta page. Makes one wonder, but the guy who co-created the Obsello Absinthe is still around even though Obsello is out of production, he's still doing his thing.
Bryan Davis was the co-founder and distiller of Obsello Absinthe, he has his own Distillery in CA. and has developed/invented a new way of aging spirits.
"As of 2016, the Davis method of aging spirits is only used by a handful of producers. However, it has been widely speculated that Davis' invention may ultimately revolutionize the spirits industry."
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bryan_Davis_(inventor)
Might be some interesting knowledge he has that a distiller would like to learn.
I imagine he's using mostly UV as it's the most...destructive, for lack of a better term. What do you think?
amazing content
Hell yeah, let’s give it a go. I’m interested to know more about this stuff and see your take on it.
Absinthe, exciting times!
I've recently gotten into your videos Jesse to begin operating my still with the sole purpose to make absinthe
Coincidentally enough, I just made my first absinthe last night :D
Aussiedistillers online recipe
I would be quite eager to see you tackle an absinthe recipe
Yes please - I’d like to see you make some.
Always love to see the three of you come together. Since Bearded beat you to the punch I posted my Great Grandfather's recipe there but feel free to cut and paste it here if you want. Thanks for the great information and for taking the time to share.
My man! Thanks mate :)
@@StillIt As always my pleasure.
Not sure what she is trying to say but it definitely makes you see things. I drank it on accident, didn’t know what it was. I noticed the edges of plants glowed green. I didn’t make it up because I had never heard of it or it’s effects before.
George of Barley & Hops! The Distilling GOAT!
Definitely make this dude!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍
I would like to see a video on what and how you go about making your take on absinthe
Would be great to see homemade absinthe with fresh ingredients:)
Love to see a recipe. Let’s do it
I love absinthe and I love chartreuse, pro-tip: add some green chartreuse to a bitter absinthe and prepare to your liking for a cheerier character.
Ok Jesse I've wanted to try it for years, and now you have put it back out there for me man. Just not to sure on what brand to get though , seems like... green fairy is all I can get around here though so anyone know if it's a good 1 to try or is there a better 1 to try first.
Thanks again Jesse just another awesome video man love your work
I think the hardest part about making it will be getting good quality herbs, particularly the Artemisia Pontica. It's grown as an ornamental, though, and you might be able to track it down. I guess you could actually grow everything you need in NZ's climate, excluding star anise which is a controversial ingredient in absinthe anyway.
Yeah that is part of the reason I have not done it yet. Doable if it's wanted I think
absinth is the reason why i became a stiller, developed my reciepe from swiss reciepes, bet I leave out the fennel/anis tasting herbs. absinth has man herbs in common which are used in gin, but the mainingredienst are different. I added some plants like the fresh needles of Picea abies and Elderflowers. A good Absinth is medecin.

Spirits, Texas, and an SG1 fan!
Would love to see a grape to glass series on absinthe 🤔
I’d love to see an absinthe from start to finish video
Smell my finger!!! 😆 I do dig that set up to be able to switch from pot to reflux..🇺🇸💖
Poured an absinthe and water while watching this to try, have never had it like that before, is actually drinkable haha
lol nice! You normally just had it straight?
@@StillIt or in an ABC Shot. Absinthe, Bacardi 151 and Chartreuse
I was gonna make my own absint and i was like lets see if he has a vid on it. I was pleasently suprised there was something here
Man I had a deep love affair with the "green fairy" (not the brand) for the longest time. Then the deeper I went the more I realised that no matter how much you spend on a bottle of Absinthe, no matter how deep into Romania you had to go to find it, they all just achieve their head spinning effect with super high alcohol content, not with a high wormwood content. Cant wait to see what you do with it because I have often wondered about making it myself and where I live wormwood is easy to grow.
Great woman! Great video! Id love to taste this absinthe, I live in europe and cant have US right? Tonight Im having woody and yet sweet swedish Valkyria! Cheers and keep up the great work!
I wouldn't say I "love" absinthe, but I like it. I like black licorice and I believe the stuff Trader Joe's is selling is from the same place in NZ that you mentioned. One thing about Absinthe is that it coats your tongue to the point it's hard to taste anything else. It is POtent!. She kind of danced around it but St. George Spirits in Oakland, CA is the folks who spent the $$$ to prove that Absinthe was not dangerous. Also you do not have to drink it straight, there are a number of classic cocktails that use it to good affect.
If St. George spent the money, that'd be news to me. The peer-reviewed study that was published and proved to the TTB that there was essentially no thujone in properly made absinthe was conducted by a team which included Ted Breaux of Lucid and Jade Liqueurs. pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/jf703568f
Absinthe gives me crazy dreams, much more intense than usual.
I got the same with wormwood tea
Hey Jesse bit hung over mate, in the start you sound very foggy hahahaha. Love your work
Another good video Jesse. Are u back in New Zealand now or still traveling?
I feel fancier after watching this.
I felt fancier after drinking it;-)
I just make a "tincture" from wormwood blossoms (Artemisia absinthium) using a juniper heavy gin and add a touch of sugar syrup an dash of salt. No distillation and it is for medicinal use. My opinion, wormwood is a medicine and it is just fashionable as a beverage. Still, and again my opinion, it should be classified as a drug. It is more addictive than mere alcohol.
Please make some
Will see what I can do
When she started describing the Absinthe experience, it seems he found his soul mate lol
I wish I'd known of your US tour, I would have loved to have met you in Texas. While in Bastrop, did you take the short drive southeast to that little shack in La Grange?
You know what I'm talkin about.
They gotta lotta nice girlsa......
:)
Barley & Hops! George-senpai!
Add one more that wants to see you do your version!
Make one yourself!
If your in Texas have you had time to check out some of the wineries?
The three amigos together again.
HaHaHa.. She said, "Nobody was Trippin'Balls". Maam.. you are my AmericanHero.
I did your blueberry liqueur and it was great but I had to skip the honey and sugar because to sweet for me
Nice! Make it your way my man :)
Is this brand available in En Zed? Quick question, Absinthe comes
from white wine distillation, is there some other product we get from red wine distillation? Either way, keep up the good work, Cheers.
The exact kind of wine doesn't matter much once you distill it to 190 proof.
Make me want to try a heavy sage spirit for some bizarre reason 🤔
Hey. Those guys look familiar.
I love the process of how absinthe is made, but I think if I drink it now my body will reject it entirely because of that ONE night I had 5 shots of it back to back on top of already having drank heavily. Just to put it *very clearly... NEVER DO THAT, I WAS LUCKY AND SURROUNDED WITH PEOPLE TO HELP ME AND EVEN THEN IT WAS VERY BAD.*
Just the taste of black Licorice I wanted to like it but just can't come to buy another bottle at $50 + dollars. Or maybe it was the brand Lucid ?.
It's a nice hot stank too... LOL!
Wish I could try some.
Went to There website, says cannot ship to California.
That's California for you.
With there green absinthe after the second teabag do the distill it again or just filter to keep the color?
Sage has more psychotropic things then wormwood? And I can see sage growing out my window 😈
No filtration after the second maceration, just proofing and bottling. If we distilled it again it would lose its color. There's nothing psychotropic in sage, or wormwood. Thujone is neurotoxic, but not in the minuscule amounts found in absinthes and other beverages.
@@derelictairshipdistillery226 thanks for setting the record straight even if it dashed the hopes and idea's of psychotropic sage. 😄
Oxygens Absinthe is heaven for maniacs! 😂
Wasn't Jagermister the same??
Nope. It's a liqueur. If it were being introduced to the American market today, it would probably be called a 'German amaro.'
Absinthe is one of those things that people drink for the ritual and the mystique. The stuff tastes terrible. So does basic moonshine IMO. I'd much rather drink pure grain alcohol. Artisanal whiskey is by far my favorite. Really good home distilled grain spirits and oak. That's the water of life. Grappa aged with wood is pretty great too.
I actually wish it didn't have the mystique. I think the association with goth weirdos is a big part of what keeps absinthe a fringe drink.
How does oak aged grappa compare to most grape brandies? I haven't had much grappa, but I'm a big fan of pisco which is pretty much the same as whole grape grappa.
Yeah I hear you man. I will still reach for any whiskey first. But the stuff is dam good. Just a personal preference.
If I said "I don't think absinthe lass is human" and "would" how big of a majority do we have in this section lads? 90?
Wormwood is considered evil because it was used in pagan circles witches flying potions
I'm in Texas and would love to buy the things this distillery creates; but, due to the absolutely idiotic multi-tiered alcoholic beverage distribution system in this country, I can't get it where I live unless a wholesaler carries it, who has contracts with a distributor in my area who will carry it, and retailers who will carry it... And with non-name brand stuff where sales will not be high especially at first, it takes quite the alignment of the stars and moon and enthusiasts more interested in the craft than the $$ to get this stuff on shelves without case lot purchases. Same situation with craft beer, come to think of it.
Insanity. Almost like they don't want us drinking hooch, eh?
I was under the impression that it had some opiate content.
Well well well that whole no tripping balls thing just ruined it for me lmao
Well, im sure there are a lot of other "medicinal" things from the 1800s you could dose yourself with that would cause you to trip _all_ the balls.
Lol euro trip
I mean......
@@StillIt chasing the green fairy!
you shouldn't do a review of something you don't like. give B an B a joint and Jessie anything above 65%
Aye what now? Who didn't like what?
Who drinks and enjoys absinthe 🤮🤮🤮
For a beginner like yourself, I recommend La Clandestine Suisse Absinthe, the stuff is very mellow and has quite an appealing flavour. Remember this is absinthe, not absinth so you want to use water and a sugar cube.
