Grüne Fee (German for “Green Fairy”) is an Austrian absinthe crafted from 19th-century recipes using grand wormwood, sage, chamomile, peppermint, licorice, violet, and cinnamon. Bottled at 130 proof with a bright green hue and a balanced, herbal-forward profile intentionally lower in anise than classic French or Swiss absinthes. Traditional louche serving recommended — dilute with cold water to unlock the botanical aromatics.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Grüne Fee unique among absinthes?

Austrian origin and a deliberately lower anise emphasis than traditional French or Swiss absinthes. The botanical blend of grand wormwood, sage, chamomile, peppermint, violet, and cinnamon produces a more nuanced herbal complexity rather than a dominant licorice character. At 130 proof it delivers the classic absinthe intensity but with a distinctly different botanical profile than Pernod or Lucid.

Is Grüne Fee legal in the United States?

Yes — Grüne Fee is legal in the United States. The 2007 TTB ruling clarified that absinthes containing thujone levels within federal limits are permitted. Grüne Fee complies with US regulations and is available for nationwide shipping through Wooden Cork.
