A clear modern twist

A new absinthe plays on the notorious history of the spirit, with a skull depicted on the front label.

Pandor is an absinthe from the Haute Saône region of France, made using traditional methods and aged for nine months in glass tanks.

The spirit is clear rather than green does not louche (go cloudy) when water is added, in a bid to attain a more modern image.

Known as the “green fairy”, absinthe became notorious for its supposed evil effects such as madness and death and was banned at the beginning of the 20th century. It was later accepted any unwanted effects were probably caused by the fantastically high alcohol content.

The basics: Pandor Black (69% abv) is £44.99, Pandor White (40%) is £34.99, Vanquish Wine
