Nemesinthe absinthe is a full-strength modern absinthe based on traditional recipes and is the result of 12 months of research between Liqueurs de France and an innovative Swiss company which was commissioned to co-develop a modern absinthe aimed at contemporary drinkers. Nemesinthe absinthe is produced at the Timbermill Distillery in South West London, famous for producing Bacardi's new ultra-premium Oxley gin.

Nemesinthe provides a link with history, a drink that conjures up the romance of the Belle Époque, with a fresh taste and original kick that will appeal to modern drinkers. Nemesinthe absinthe takes its inspiration from the ancient Greek Nemesis, although known as the Goddess of Vengeance and Retribution, Nemesis was also a distributor of fortune, in due proportion to each according to their deserts.

Nemesinthe absinthe combines the classic flavours of anise with citrous notes. It is best enjoyed mixed with three to five measures of cold water and can be used as the base of traditional and modern absinthe cocktails. Pour 1 measure of Nemesinthe absinthe into a tall, stemmed glass and slowly add three to four measures of chilled water. If desired the water can be poured over a sugar cube placed on a slotted absinthe spoon.

An ideal gift for the absintheur, one 70cl bottle of Nemesinthe absinthe, two large etoiles absinthe spoons engraved with the Nemesinthe logo and two Pontarlier glasses in a wooden presentation box.
