Brevans has created an Austin Osman Spare inspired absinthe.

According to the description on the website, the first batch was distilled on December 20th, Spare’s birthday, and made available for sale on April 3rd of this year.

The image on the label is Spare’s “Astral Body and Ghost” (click for larger image).

From the website:

The basis for the formula was taken from the well known book “La fabrication des liqueurs” from J. De Brevans dating back to 1897. As usual in the 19th century the formula has been slightly modified to gain a nicely balanced distillate. Oliver Matter just uses botanicals cultivated to eco standards from nearby or equally high quality herbs such as Anise e.g. Of course no sugar or any other artificial substances are used. Oliver Matter just uses herbs such as small wormwood, hyssop and others for colouring Absinthe. The result is a pretty complex yet smooth, harmonic and mellow Absinthe.

You can purchase Absinthe Brevans A.O. Spare at Absinthe.de. Unless you live in Canada. They won’t ship here. (I asked.)
