A Bit More about Lucid Absinthe:
Lucid® was developed in France by renowned absinthe historian and distiller T.A. Breaux. It is distilled in the historical Combier Distillery in Saumur, France, using original antique copper absinthe stills, many of which were designed by Gustav Eiffel in the 1800s.
Lucid was the first genuine absinthe made with real Grande Wormwood to be legally available in the United States after the 95 year ban.
