The latest création of the S&O Manufactory is now available to order on-line for 2020 (Australia only).

Absinthe Maison is made to a traditional 19th century recipe using seven botanicals including the vital artemisia absinthium.
Lightly sweetened after infusion our take on French home-made absinthe is diluted to a more easy-going 47%abv and contains no artificial colourings, flavourings or essences (that green-yellow colour is as van Gogh intended).

Also included is a free download of a high-quality scan of the rather rare publication below:
