- The Akveld's Artisanale Verte label has been designed by Martijn Wijmer, a Dutch artist.
- First, savour Akveld's Artisanale Verte with half a piece of sugar. Then add more or less according to your taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measures of fresh water.

Classic French style verte with some extra complexity. Top shelf treat for a reasonable price, but still a step below the real best ones.

I've provided my background and experience at the end of this review, so you might weigh my comments to others on the site.
REVIEW:
The idea of a Netherlands produced bottle, along with customer reviews convinced me to give this bottle a chance. Those of you familiar with the Alandia production line can consider this a more delicate, nuanced version of the "Alandia Strong 68". Flavorful with Anise and Fennel driving the core, but with a floral mint character whisping through the nose and palette, with a just-above standard louche for a typical verte style.
Eyes: The Louche was a solid standard. A nice glow-like quality to it takes it just a step above typical verte.
Nose: Again, typical Verte but a step beyond thanks to the 'floral-mint' and the lightest hint of musk.
Mouthfeel: Actually, some bonus points here as well, the structure was rounded and lighter than expected and while it still gave the 'coated tounge' sensation while being tasted, it was not an 'oily' feel. The absinthe was soft in my mouth yet had a clean finish with no 'residual' coating sensation after
Palette: A step above your typical verte thanks to that herbal mint and even the musk adding some character, helping to slightly tone down the anise and fennel flavors with an earthy character.
Overall, I'd say buy if you're doing a strict Verte tasting or focusing on the style. If you're looking for something to rely on that will absolutely astound you however, this is not your ideal purchase.
MY BACKGROUND:
2006 - Tasted my 1st Absinthe (All European)
2007 - Tasted 6 Absinthes new to me (All European)
2008 - Tasted 6 Absinthes new to me (All European)
2009 - Tasted 2 Absinthes new to me (US Only)
2010 - Tasted 5 Absinthes new to me (4 Euro, 1US)
2011 - Tasted 12 Absinthes new to me (All European)
I'm also a level-1 graduate from the Mastercourt of Sommeliers, worked in the wine industry from 2001-2008, and run an independent cellar-stocking business, where my palette is trusted by high-end clients to purchase wines matching their tastes and expectations of quality. Additionally, since 2010 I've hosted a semi-annual Absinthe Dinner for party sizes of 35-70 guests. Each course is paired with a dish developed uniquely to match the absinthe ordered for the event. Each event usually fills up more quickly with reservations than the previous one, due to the patrons enjoying the pairings and bottle choices to such a significant degree.
