South Downs Fairy is an all-natural absinthe made with our home-grown wormwood and only coloured with natural botanicals, predominantly fresh mint.

It has been produced with non-absinthe drinkers in mind and doesn’t contain any liquorish, and slightly less aniseed than certain traditional recipes, giving you more of a floral, lighter and less bitter flavour that might appeal even to absinthe newbies, even though it contains all the traditional herbs you’d expect from old-school absinthe (wormwood, fennel, aniseed as well as smaller amounts of quite a number of others…)

This product will lose its lush colour over time (turning olive/drab green) and may also “throw” a bit of sediment. This is due to its natural composition and nothing to worry about. Keep it in a completely dark, cool place to prevent the oxidisation from happening too fast. As the product matures, you’ll get sweeter notes and a more rounded flavour of it, losing some of the spring-like flavour that you can taste initially.

Exposure to direct sunlight and warm temperatures will spoil the product quite quickly.

£48 + standard royal mail postage (if you live locally, get in touch about free pick-up option)
