Bottle

Third Stage is bottled at 65% ABV in a green 375ml bottle. The green bottle helps to keep the light out of the absinthe in order to preserve its delicate green color from the herbs added after distillation. The label was designed by local Nashvillian, Brian Demoss. It depicts the three stages of absinthe drinking based on the quote by Oscar Wilde that gave us our namesake:

"The first stage is like ordinary drinking, the second is when you begin to see monstrous and cruel things, but if you can persevere, you will enter in upon the Third Stage where you see things that you want to see, wonderful and curious things."
