Le Tourment Vert (translated as "The Green Torment") was an absinthe-like liqueur imported from the French Distillerie Vinet EGE, near the French commune of Cognac. The spirit was created in 2007. Le Tourment Vert was a mixed and macerated spirit containing the basic ingredients common to true absinthes - anise, fennel and grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) - and also contained a combination of herbs, including sage, rosemary, coriander, and eucalyptus and fitted within guidelines for thujone (10ppm) as specified by the U.S. Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau.
