The Lemercier 72 Amer is a noble, high-class absinth from the famous absinthe region Fougerolles.
Lemercier - one of the most important french absinth distillers from the past – is now present again with this excellent product.

This Absinth has a pronounced anise character, and, according to the manufacturers, an unusually high thujone content - around 30mg/l.

Still today absinth drinkers enjoy the ancient ritual before they enjoy their drink:

Sugar is placed on a spoon and suspended over a tall glass
filled with a shot of green Absinth.
Then ice-cold water is dripped over the sugar
and allowed to fall in beads into the drink.

Each drip turns to a fresh snow-packed white.
The sugar cuts the Absinth's bitterness,
while the method was attractive in itself,
the drink's change in colour, drip by drip, resembles alchemy.
