Jade Nouvelle-Orleans

A resurgence of absinthe in the US has brought to the forefront authentic recipes of the notorious and mystical Green Fairy. One man that should largely take credit for this is the creator of Jade Nouvelle-Orleans, Ted Breaux. Ted has not only disproved the basis of absinthe’s notoriety (that it had been the culprit of horrid crimes back in the day for its thujone content that can be derived from the herb wormwood), he’s also become the backbone of the production of the finest, closest to the pre-ban absinthe (if not authentic). Having tasted pre-banned absinthes and studied the chemistry of the drink, Ted Breaux has undeniably earned his reputation as the Grandfather of Absinthe.
Jade Nouvelle-Orleans is a novelty of Breaux that he has introduced under his line of authentic absinthes, Jade. What makes this the odd one out among the Jade lot is it doesn’t come from age old recipes but it is instead a personal interpretation of Breaux of what the absinthe drinkers from New Orleans (which was the center of absinthe in the US in the advent of the 20th century) were having before the ban. Today’s absintheurs have found Jade Nouvelle-Orleans to be interestingly different indeed. At 136 proof, Jade Nouvelle-Orleans boasts a sweet aroma that belies its complex taste that is anything but dominated by saccharine. There’s a balance among all the ingredients, one would find hard to pick out any particular flavor or ingredient. What is definite is that it produces a very refreshing floral and sweet-spicy taste in the mouth that lingers for a tad bit longer than most.
Enthusiasts find that a meticulously dripping of slow and steady stream of ice cold water in threadlike volume brings out Nouvelle’s utmost potential in the louche department and, ultimately, that of its natural flavors.
