Based in Alameda, California, St. George has been distilling since 1982 and since then created a fantastic portfolio of craft spirits. The first legal American absinthe released after the U.S. ban was lifted in 2007, St. George Absinthe Verte remains one of the most acclaimed and respected spirits in this category. No artificial ingredients or colorings, it has deep notes of spicy black licorice, citrus, wormwood, and a beautiful louche once water is added, what’s not to love?
