Shuichi Shindou Report post Posted April 24, 2018 (edited) I ran across a Paul Devoille absinthe I've never seen before called Absinthe Gustave 72% -- both a regular and a barrel-aged version. There's not a review page for either on this site yet, so I was wondering if anyone has tried them and has any thoughts. One reason I'm interested in the absinthe is the claim in a couple of reviews that it somewhat resembles pre-ban in style. (It's based off a late 18th Century recipe.) I grabbed a bottle of the oak-aged so I'll report back after I've had a chance to try it. Thanks, and cheers! Edit: I just saw a post about Absinthe Gustave on TWS Facebook discussion group, looks like I should check that more often!

absinthiac Report post Posted April 24, 2018 I have a bottle of Gustave 72%, haven't opened it yet, waiting for an occasion! Didnt want the barrel aged, sounded to much like whiskey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shuichi Shindou Report post Posted April 25, 2018 I hear you -- I'm wary of barrel-aged stuff in general because it often imparts too much wood/vanilla flavor for my taste. However, I enjoyed Roquette 1797 Barrel Aged so much that I decided to take the chance on the Gustave (despite them being from different distilleries.)

Patient Explorer Report post Posted December 24, 2018 I'm very interested in reading a review of this absinthe. I'm heavily leaning towards grabbing myself a bottle of the un-oaked version once it's back in stock. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanPatrick Report post Posted June 10, 2019 I've had a couple of the oak-aged Gustav and they were fantastic. I'm a big fan of oak-aged absinthe, I haven't tried the regular Gustav. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
