Absinthe Ordinaire Reserve, is a special expression of Absinthe Ordinaire, named after the creator of the first absinthe recipe in 1793, Dr. Pierre Ordinaire. Absinthe Ordinaire Reserve is 100% distilled from natural, traditional absinthe botanicals. Unlike regular absinthes which, once distilled are macerated in roman wormwood to get the green color, Absinthe Ordinaire Reserve keeps its clear aspect.
