Absinthe Abisinthe Amer 72 72% - 70cl

Thank you both products ere 5 star I enjoyed the monkey gin. It was smmoth

Very smooth and clean. Louches nicely with good wormwood and angelica flavours.

Nice and delicious, the anis flavour bites my tongue a bit, good enough for surviving the pandemic.

What I like to call "the AK-47" of Absinthe. 10 thumbs up.

Absinthe pas très amère finalement. Je suis d'accord avec certains commentaires, le goût d'anis est assez prononcé (un peu trop pour ma part) . Cependant par rapport au goût d'alcool, je trouve cela plutôt normal puisqu'il s'agit d'une absinthe à 72°. Je suis satisfaite de ce joli produit. L'emballage est excellent !

Great Absinthe for a beginner or connoisseur. Outstanding service!

My personal favorite Absinthe, affordable, beautifully made and all around a wonderful spirit. Just ordered my second bottle, can't wait to get it. Cheers!

This drink is the smoothest tastiest absinthe that I've had so far I'd like to think of myself as a connoisseur of fine absinthe. When you buy it in the 20cl it has a pop top like grolsch beer. When you're done drinking it you can refill it and use it as a flask. This product has four and a half Stars and there's a good reason why great product great price.

I was very surprised how good this one is. I pour a shot over four ice cubes, wait for half an hour or so, and my oh my is it good! This, along with the non Amer of the same bottling are great. Pay no mind about the price, it good!!!

This one is quite simple and relatively cheap, yet fairly strong. A good beginner's one, i think. Fairly thick, this has the peculiar quality of being already sweet, so it goes well just with water without any further sugar to be added. Provides a more than decent experience, though it's not a much refined one. Great value nonetheless, just don't expect wonders if you're an expertised absinthe taster.

Sehr Gut! geschmacklich gut, wirkung top! werde ich wieder bestellen

This absinthe does what it says on the tin. Rich flavour without any quirkiness, it's a good solid performer. Great in cocktails or in the traditional cordial fashion, it's worth having a bottle on hand. It is worth getting a little experimental with other absinthes but you'll find yourself coming back to this one.

On time, as described, tasted like Absinthe! Bought as a present for my girlfriend who wanted to try the Absinthe experience. Will buy again if we ever get through it.

Seit Jahren einer meiner Lieblinge unter den Absinths.

If your absinthe connoisseur this is a must-have. It's very smooth a little on the dry side but flavored nicely I give it a 5 out of 5

Die Lieferung kam schnell und sehr gut verpackt, bin sehr zufrieden.

Schon lange keinen Absinth mehr getrunken. Sehr gute Marke. Bin sehr zufrieden.

My favorite absinthe. I have tried many, and enjoyed them all, but this is the one I always come back to...

My favorite! I have tried many others, but I prefer this one for true absinthe.

Sehr ausgewogener, feiner Geschmack!
Gehört zu meinen Lieblings-Absinthes.

Alles super geklappt und wie immer lecker....ich kann diesen Absinth nur weiter empfehlen

j adore pas trop amer et c super pour faire dodo je dore très bien

Beautiful absinthe! Taste is well rounded, anise aroma and flavor is strong but not overpowering! No complaints with this bottle. Customer service was great as always!

I have tried about 12 different Absinthes and always return to this one, my favourite, it has been my staple for years.

One of my favourite absinthes. Great taste with deep aroma and very well balanced bitterness.

10 years of 4 & 5 star ratings. 35 parts per million, the highest allowable amount of thujone (if you're into that sort of thing). From the #1 producing country of Absinthe in the world. 72%, the alcohol level (again, if you're into that sort of thing). 1811, the year Lamercer started fermenting fine products. 3:1, the perfect ratio of water to Absinthe. 6, the number of times I've ordered it. 4, the number of bottles I ordered last time I ordered it. 72 ml, the largest bottle you can buy. 0, the amount of sugar needed to savor this treat. Lastly, I will say, that if you don't like Jagermeister because of the anise flavor, that doesn't mean you won't like this. The additional herbs balance this out nicely.

First off, I am very impressed with this vendor. I haven't ordered absinthe online in seven years and I'm glad I chose Absinthes.com to get back into the world of absinthe I so dearly missed. I am no connoisseur, I am no expert. I'm just a simple man who found himself allured to the green fairy. Though I can't tell you what herbs I taste (with the exception of anise and wormwood), I can appreciate the complexity of the taste and aroma to a point. Though I am far from an expert and am not adept to identifying a taste profile with any precision, I know there is a rich bouquet of fine craftsmanship contained in Amer 72. For 72% alcohol and triple wormwood distillation, this absinthe is remarkably smooth and refined. For the price you pay, you get a bit more than you expect. My next purchase will be one of the Jade series, thanks to a $10 off coupon from Absinthes.com. Thank you for providing both an excellent selection as well as amazing service. I will recommend you guys first as an absinthe vendor for friends. You guys are awesome at what you do, thank you so much. I will definitely be ordering from this site again. In fact, it's very likely the only vendor I will use. As I finished this comment, I just finished a glass of Amer. Definitely will get it again. Great for an everyday's absinthe or something more. Likely to be my go to default absinthe choice.

I have been trying some different absinthe and this one is a very nice and pleasing product. The bottle is well packed reducing the possibility of damage. I am glad to have found a place where the recommendations have been justified in the product taste.

I Like it!
It is a good and well balanced BITTER absinthe.
Nice louche, nice colour, good aroma and without a crazy price.
I will buy it again.

Auch hier werde ich sehr gern meine Erfahrung mit guten Schluck nieder schreiben.
Für mich etwas widersprüchlich wird in den bisherigen Kommentaren von viel und wenig Anis gesprochen. Ja was denn nun? Auch der Thujon Gehalt lässt aufhorchen. Aber der Reihe nach.

Die Flasche besitzt ein für mich medizinischen Eindruck...Naja, stimmt ja auch irgendwie.
Der Verschluss ist 100% Kunststoff ABER beinhaltet einen "eingebauten" Ausgießer. Kein kleckern über den Glasrand. Sehr sehr gut. Lieber so als Kork! Super gemacht.

Sonst riecht er pur sehr sehr fruchtig, sehr süß und ausgewogen. "Nett" könnte man sagen. Ein nur leichter Alkoholgeruch lässt keine 72 Umdrehungen erwarten. Für mich bisher der beste Geruch eines Absintes - unterdess kenne ich ca. 20 Stk.
Er ist sehr klar, für "blasses grün" brauche ich viel Fantasie. So oder so, er macht eine gute Figur.

Pur kommt geschmacklich der Knall. Die 72% spürt man deutlich brennen. Er ist zu Beginn wenig bitter und wird im Nachgeschmack/Abgang sehr sehr süß, lakritzartig. Schmeckt fast schon nach Süßholz oder Salmiak. Das liebe ich zufällig. Trifft genau meinen Geschmack. Für mich auch in den Top 3 der pur genießbaren Absinthes.
Das leicht bittere verschwindet im Abgang.

Der sehr gute Tropfen opalisiert eher langsam und schwach. Er wird komplett dicht, aber weniger nebelig oder dichter wie andere Absinthes.
Das lässt erstmal auf weniger Anis schließen was auch mein geschmacklicher Eindruck ist. Eher wenig Anis, mehr Fenchel und Richtung Süßholz. Er sieht trotzdem sehr schön aus und bleibt weiß.
Der Geruch bleibt verdünnt nahe an unverdünnt, das habe ich auch selten. Ist weder gut noch schlecht, aber es fasziniert mich wie viele unterscheide es in den Absinthen gibt.

Verdünnt, ca. 1:8, ist und beibt er sehr süß. Ich würde das nächste mal geringer verdünnen. Er ist süßer als mancher Absinth mit Zucker von mir genossen wurde. Es festigt sich der Eindruck von wenig Anis, viel Fenchel und Süßholz.
Was ist mit dem Wermut los? Mit einem solch hohen Thujongehalt würde ich mehr Bitterkeit erwarten. Ist aber nicht der Fall. Komisch. Aber positiv komisch.

All in All überzeugt Preis/Leistung sehr gut.
Der süße und eher milde Geschmack eignet sich für Einsteiger sehr gut, die gefühlt vielen Überraschungen auch für Fortgeschrittene oder Experten. Man muss es aber etwas süßer mögen oder akzeptieren und wenig Anis tolerieren.

Sehr gut. Der zweite Absinth nach dem "Absinthe St. Antoine" den ich sicher wieder kaufen werde und hier als "Standard" zu Hause ist.

Super Sache, klare Kaufempfehlung von mir.

Yes thank you. The Absinthe was bought as a preasant for somebody who enjoys it and they were very, very satisfied.

Sehr lecker und ausgewogen. Gibt, meines Erachtens bessere, aber der hier ist schon ziemlich gut.

I am very pleased with the amer 72 """ What more can I say ??

A clear but pale amber, almost a blanche in colour absinthe, greets you in the glass.
Sort of odd cap and pouring mechanism for an absinthe, but it does the trick.
Before you add any water the anise takes the front in the aroma, very pleasant.
When water is added, in my case a shy less than 3/1, the anise takes a step back.
The louche is a cloudy amber/white, with a blue tint in the edge, and it builds quickly in the glass.
Anise is again first in the mouth, followed by some herbs I can't really tell, maybe it the gentian or mugwort.
Wormwood in the finish with a slight hint of bitterness, and a smooth numbness on the tongue. No oil or thickness.
After a couple of minutes the anise and wormwood hangs around and begs for another glass.
In my opinion there's no need for sugar.
All and all a very nice absinthe, very close to 5 stars.

This probably should be a five star rating, because I really like this absinthe. But since I'm a beginner I want to leave some room for improvement in the future. Compared with other absinthes I have tried as Valkyria, St Antoine's and Enigma there really is no comparison. Amer is just levels above the one's mentioned.

Einfach nur GUT. kann ich jedem nur empfehlen!!!!!

I agree with my fellow connoisseurs on this absinthe. Nothing super special, but that is no reason to not add it to your reorder list when your first bottle is done. It is an absinthe that is affordable and delivers a quality experience. I am currently into diving into the deep end of complexity and quality, but to have this on my shelf as a relaxer when I am not quite feeling as sophisticated is reassuring. A good offering, at a good price!

Reminds me of Le Chateau De Provence. What a wonderful experience.

Excellent absinthe. Not a "Jade", but significantly less expensive.

It is not the best absinthe, but for that price it is very good, especially for novices and as everyday's absinthe.

This is a lovely absinthe despite the aniseed power which works well with its soul anyway. Not complex but just a nice balance of anise and wormwood with an earthy hit. Very silky smooth and kicky. Simple but perfect in its own right. Pour it to your preferred levels and it will repay in kind.

Merci de m'avoir permis de retrouver cette absinthe de grande qualité.

It's a very simple absinthe, nice taste, nice kick.

Now this is a terrific absinthe, especially one you can drink every day or even share with your friends. I know I will order 3 bottles next time!

I haven't had this absinthe in a while. Why haven't I ordered it more recently? It is because I am continually ordering other top shelf absinthes from this wonderful site. This would be an order on a continual basis...if only I had more money:)

I love the bite and subtleties lurking within. No sugar needed for the hardcore green fairy devotee.

Excellent product combined with excellent service. Smooth taste, nice anise flavour, no bitterness will definitely buy again.

I liked this product excellent. Good taste, loved the anis. Didn't burn my guts even it was 72%.

Always a favorite absinthe to turn friends onto the Fairy. Powerful with a nice balance of flavors - this has been in my stable for a decade now - - - love it !!!

I love this drink. Not too much alcohol-taste, heavy anis is great.

Wer einen hohen Anisanteil mag ist mit diesem Absinth auf der sicheren Seite. Stark aber weich im Abgang. Danke für diese Empfehlung. Er ist einer meiner liebsten.

Pas si amère que cela et délicieuse à déguster glacée.

J'ai reçu cette bouteille d'Absinthe ce matin(Abisinthe 72Amer) et je me suis servi un verre qui finalement n'est pas aussi Amer que vous ne le penser; et vous envoute le palais avec pleins de bonnes saveurs et le gout de l'anis qui vous reste pas mal de temps en bouche tout en couvrant l'amertume qui finalement vous étonne pleinement!!! Une absinthe que je recommande volontiers pour les amateurs de bonne sensations en bouche.

Great flavor and color. I always recommend it to my friends who prefer a gentle herb flavor. I have given this bottle as a present. I also ship this bottle to my vacation destinations because of the great effects and sophisticated flavor. I made a custom lamp out of one of the bottles.

Un peu trop anisée à mon goût. Mais elle est intéressante quand même grâce à son mélange de saveurs.

My favorite absinthe. Beautiful louche, wonderful flavor profile. Got turned on to this one in Berlin at the absinthe Depot. Waiting to find one that I like more!
Will buy again and again.

An enriching experience. Distinctive taste. Ritualistic process. Lovely buzz.

Everything is perfect about this bottle. Big alcohol content and a very low price! I had my first taste of Absinthe while in New Orleans last year to see if it lived up to its myth. I instantly fell in love with the taste and the ritual. The Amer 72 is the perfect starter bottle for beginners, with such a low cost and a hefty kick. Just one serving puts you at ease and the flavor and smoothness make you forget it is 72% alcohol. I'm just 3 or 4 drinks into this bottle and I'm already excited about buying the next one!

I am very impressed with this absinthe. The bouquet is delightfully full, and the louche is creamy. Although 72%, the taste is very smooth. Indeed, it packs a real punch. I intend to order Amer again.

By far my favorite Absinthe. The taste is clean and crisp, it has a gorgeous louche, and very little bitterness or sharp aftertaste. I would compare this to Delaware Phoenix "Meadow Of Love" Absinthe Superieure, but with a higher wormword concentration. This is an Absinthe lover's Absinthe. One taste and you'll be hooked and moved away from the lesser stuff.

Top quality absinthe, especially if you prefer a bitter edge.

This Absinthe is now my favourite, I am now on my 4th bottle of Absinthe Abisinthe Amer 72 with two more waiting for me and will continue to buy more when I run out. I don't think there is better value out there. Although this is an Amer it is not overly bitter but rather well ballanced and it has nice licoricy notes which is of most importance to me.

I've provided my background and experience at the end of this review, so you might weigh my comments to others on the site.

REVIEW:
Lemercier's Abisinthe Amer was the first absinthe I tasted and just fell in love with. To this day, I struggle between the Boston reproduction "Butterfly" and Lemercier's Amer as my absolute, all time favorite. The Louche is gorgeous, the mouth-feel is creamy and naturally sweet while avoiding some of the 'oily / petrol-jelly residue' feel you might get from a Le Blue style. The bouquet on the nose is floral and intricate, with anise contributing a sweetness you'd experience smelling it grow in the wild in early bloom, not at it's peak. It is completely balanced and not at all overwhelming. The same rings true on the palette, where the anise activates more floral flavors with a delicate sweetness. You avoid an overwhelming licorice taste, and in fact can nearly forget about it...until it reach the back of your throat.

Overall, this bottle is as good as it gets. If you're trying to convince someone that significantly dislikes anise, I'd use the Amer, but with caution. It's perfect for serving to that person at the peak of an extremely hot summer day where the anise will cool the back of their throat, or mid winter paired with the right dish. My suggestion would be to brush lamb with blueberry preserves then grill it, allowing the preserves to caramelize and harden while keeping the meet cooked medium-rare/medium-light. Alternatively, you can try roast chicken breast covered with triple creme brie and a dollop of raspberry preserves. Both pairings have been flawless in making this bottle the start of every tasting I've held. I cannot speak highly enough of Lemercier's Abisinthe Amer, and if you are either looking to try a new bottle or try your first bottle, this is the way to go. I'm a die-hard fan, and I just can't speak highly enough of this absinthe.

I'm also a level-1 graduate from the Mastercourt of Sommeliers, worked in the wine industry from 2001-2008, and run an independent cellar-stocking business, where my palette is trusted by high-end clients to purchase wines matching their tastes and expectations of quality. Additionally, since 2010 I've hosted a semi-annual Absinthe Dinner for party sizes of 35-70 guests. Each course is paired with a dish developed uniquely to match the absinthe ordered for the event. Each event usually fills up more quickly with reservations than the previous one, due to the patrons enjoying the pairings and bottle choices to such a significant degree.

Interesting. Not particularly refined but also not particularly expensive. I drink it occasionally - this bottle should last me a while.

Loved it!!! Great taste really nice finish definitely one of my favorites!!

This was my third bottle I bought and it was nice to drink, low anise taste but a hi taste of herbs! It is one of my favorites still ^^

Je ne suis pas connaisseur, mais pour un débutant, je pense que cette absinthe est tout à fait recommandable. Le goût d'anis, certes prononcé, n'occulte pas les autres plantes entrant dans la composition de l'absinthe. Un peu déçu par sa couleur jaunâtre, et par le phénomène de louche, je ne le suis pas du tout en ce qui concerne le nez et le goût. Le tout est de prendre son temps pour la déguster pour en découvrir bien les saveurs...

Well-rounded, even if not terribly complex. Spice and bitterness work wonderfully together with this affordable absinthe.
This is a staple every time I place an order and a favorite within my circle of friends.

Vollkommen, wenn auch nicht unglaublich komplex. Würze und Bitterkeit sind wunderbar aufeinander abgestimmt bei diesem erschwinglichen Absinthe.
Er ist bei jeder Bestellung ein Muss und auch in meinem Freundeskreis ein Favorit.

My favourite absinthe, great spice type of taste to it.

This is a medium quality absinthe, strong aniseed base and good amount of alcohol; but it's a nice starter to drink absinthe. Maybe some extra thujone there...? Highly recommended for amateurs.

This is one of my great faves. Note that it's an "Amer," not strictly absinthe. This allos them to increase the thujone level.

La première absinthe que je découvre, et déjà la troisième bouteille.

I love this stuff, for special events, or just a quiet cocktail this is my favorite.

I've always loved this stuff, which is hard to find. Its up-front kick takes your breath away, and the complexity of the herb mixture delights at the finish.
Thanks for stocking -- it's a great deal.

Not my favourite one; this Absinthe has a very present anise taste... Its complexity is not enough for me, too aniseed and a poor balance... I'm sure that could be a right choise for an amateur who want to try absinthe for the first time.... Quite cheap product.

This one is my favorite. Strong effect, smooth flavor, I've tried quite a few brands but this is the one I never want to run out of...

Une douce amertume, fraiche et trés agréable par cette chaleur.

Absinthe sans aucun intérêt; elle est fade sans arômes, on ne sent que l'alcool et le louche est léger. Même pour un débutant, je déconseille cette absinthe; préférez la Verte de Fougerolles !

Goût super et très très efficace, je vais en racheter c'est certain.
La commande s'est rendue à moi sans problème merci.

Excellent for beginners. Will leave you wanting and willing to explore more refined absinthes.

Décevante... :o(
Un goût d'alcool très prononcé, une coloration très légère jaune paille et un anis trop présent qui écrase l'absinthe.
Pour moi, cette absinthe n'a que peu d'intérêt...
A la limite pour flamber les crêpes :oP

Très bonne absinthe! La meilleure de la maison Lemercier à Fougerolles!
Et surtout pas flambée !!! C'est n'importe quoi, une hérésie !!!

"Absinthe" sans intérêt, goût d'alcool, pas de plantes, juste la mélisse. Affreux, à éviter.

Très très bonne, je la conseille, elle est parfaite.

Very good absinthe, increadibly mild compared to what you would expect (72°)...
Very refined, for amateurs and novices...

Whether savoured "flambée" on top of a spoon or according to the classic ritual, it is a good Standard.

Très bonne Absinthe , incroyablement douce par rapport à son 72° affiché ...
Très fine , pour les amateurs et les novices ...

à la cuillère flambée au sucre ... façon 18ème siècle ... reste un très bon standard.

A good absinthe with a herbaceous taste, quite mellow for its 71°. Amateurs and connoisseurs will appreciate it. Nice price.

Bonne absinthe au goût herbacée, assez douce finalement pour 72°. Les amateurs comme les connaisseurs l\'appricieront. Bon rapport qualité/prix.

Excellente absinthe - originale et surprenante - à déguster sans modération

Excellent absinthe, lightly bitter and herbal, very good and perfect to start off with.
It's the best absinthe of the Lemercier distillery in my opinion.
Absinthely yours,
Patrice

Excellente absinthe, légèrement amère et herbacée, trés bonne et parfaite pour débuter.
Pour moi la meilleure des absinthes de chez Lemercier à Fougerolles.
Bien absinthement.
Patrice

This absinthe is very good, I highly recommend it: a light taste of anise just like everybody likes it, a delight to savour with friends !
