Vintage Hermès is an original, historical Japanese Absinthe from an earlier production run. This bottling comes from a time when Absinthe was still being produced outside of France (Absinthe was never officially banned in Japan).

Vintage Hermès is one of the less common historical brands. This makes it particularly interesting for collectors who are specifically looking for rarer bottlings.

Absinthe is generally drinkable if it has been stored correctly. However, due to its rarity, it is often kept unopened as a collector's item.

Historical bottlings such as Vintage Hermès are considered softer and more balanced than many modern Absinthes, with restrained bitterness and a harmonious herbal profile.

This product is aimed at absinthe connoisseurs and collectors who want to expand their collection with an authentic, historical bottling – less so at beginners or regular enjoyment.

Frequently Asked Questions General

Absinthe is a traditional herbal spirit whose characteristic taste is primarily derived from wormwood, anise, and fennel. It originated in the border region between Switzerland and France and became widely known in the 19th century.

Absinthe is traditionally diluted with ice-cold water, which is slowly dripped into the glass – often over a sugar cube. This preparation allows the aromas to unfold and creates the typical "louche" effect, where the spirit becomes milky and cloudy.

The high alcohol content serves as a carrier for the subtle herbal aromas and preserves them. Absinthe is therefore not intended for pure consumption, but is traditionally drunk diluted with water.

Absinthe is a traditional herbal spirit, whose characteristic taste is mainly due to wormwood, anise, and fennel. It originated in the border region between Switzerland and France and gained widespread recognition in the 19th century.

For the classic preparation, an Absinthe glass, an Absinthe spoon for the sugar cube, and a carafe or fountain with ice-cold water are used. These tools allow for slow dilution and ensure a balanced taste experience.
