History:
Created in 2006 by yours truly at The Cabinet Room, London, England.
The name is a reference to the Parisian district of St-Germain, lying on the left bank of the River Seine, and a nod to the use of absinthe and its pre-war ban in France, partly due to the belief that it induced insanity.
Review:
Elderflower liqueur mellows and boosts the brandy's floral notes, while dashes of absinthe balance sweetness and add aniseed notes.
