From the producer: "Jade Liqueurs' Esprit Edouard Absinthe Supérieure represents the first absinthe released by Jade that was painstakingly reverse engineered from sealed antique bottles of the original spirit. The story of Esprit Edouard Absinthe Supérieure is rooted in the late 19th century, at the time when one of the world's most prestigious absinthe distilleries was at the zenith of its existence. This distillery crafted products that were the subject of widespread acclaim and international export. At the time of the ban, this distillery had earned the distinction as one of the largest absinthe producers, and was considered by many absinthe connoisseurs to be one of the finest marques."
