Delaware Phoenix Walton Waters Absinthe

Cheryl Lins is making some of the most important absinthes in the world since the spirit has been de-regulated. She owns a tiny distillery in the Catskill Mountains of New York where she makes everything from scratch completely by herself. The Walton Waters is one of two absinthes that she makes and is my personal favorite. The slightly citrus herbal and savory edge that Walton gives is from the lemon thyme. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional, and the pot distillation allows for control of the cuts. As a result, perfect aromatic expressions of the botanicals and impressive texture make this an ideal and refreshing example of truly artisanal spirit. Lovely licorice and minty flavors resonate in the mouth, leaving the palate light and not numb.
