Alchemiae Absinthe

The Tatsumi Distillery is an incredibly unique distillery that was established by Shohei Tatsumi as a ‘one man’ operation in 2017. Located in the heart of Gifu Prefecture, in the traditional city of Gujo Hachiman, a quaint town at the foot of the Japanese Alps. Brewing techniques remain true to traditional practices and materials, using a copper pot still and a Kabutogama wooden still to create superb Gin and Absinthe.

The Alchemiae Absinthe is made with 8 botanicals. Wormwood is the main ingredient along with anise. The Wormwood is sourced from a grower in Yamagata prefecture. The Absinthe is distilled from two different Shochu bases, Sweet Potato Shochu & Chicory Shochu. Utilising the famous Kabutogama still the Absinthe from Tatsumi-san is all handmade in very small batches of less than 500 bottles only once a year.

TASTING NOTES: Sweet note from sweet potato Shochu with wormwood and anise. The palate has a milky sweetness from licorice, incredibly clean and balanced complex aftertaste.
