Enigma absinthe is distilled in batches of less 1,000 litres in small copper stills. The green colour is created using 'esprit verte': a traditional method of colouring and flavouring absinthe post distillation with natural herbs.

Enigma Verte is based on grape spirit and is made using grande and petite wormwood, green anise, sweet fennel and hyssop. Enigma Verte additionally contains speedwell. No sugar is added.
