Bordiga Absinthe

Mythical. Herbal. A masterwork of botanical distillation.
Born in the shadow of the Italian Alps, Bordiga Absinthe is a spirit that pays homage to both tradition and artistry. Crafted in Cuneo at the historic Bordiga 1888 Distillery, it captures the very essence of absinthe’s mystique — herbal, aromatic, and beautifully complex. Each bottle reflects over a century of Italian distilling mastery, where wild alpine botanicals meet time-honoured craftsmanship.

Bordiga’s absinthe is made using handpicked wormwood, anise, and fennel, combined with secret alpine herbs that thrive in the pure mountain air. Distilled in traditional copper stills, it delivers an elegant balance of freshness and intensity — the hallmark of genuine absinthe. The flavour unfolds in waves: bright and herbal at first, then silky and bittersweet, with an aniseed depth that lingers long after the final sip.

This is not a spirit for the faint of heart, but for the curious — for those who appreciate heritage, ritual, and flavour that tells a story. In Ireland, Bordiga Absinthe offers a rare glimpse into the old-world charm of Italian distilling, perfect for connoisseurs, collectors, and modern mixologists alike.

Why we love it:
We love Bordiga Absinthe because it’s authentic and alive — a true expression of old-world craftsmanship. Its alpine herbs and traditional recipe deliver a flavour both invigorating and elegant. Whether enjoyed in the classic absinthe ritual or as a daring cocktail ingredient, it brings depth, history, and sophistication to the glass.
