The little blends, served in the best restaurants around the world, are unmatched in taste, body and aftertaste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTime and precision are essential for the distillation of this \u003cstrong\u003eOPIUS Rubedo 0.0%\u003c\/strong\u003e. The recipe for this Rubedo is inspired by ancient alchemist texts. The drink owes its name to one of the 4 alchemical stages. It’s a spicy drink, with anise, cloves and cardamom. Enjoy with ice cubes, as a mocktail or in a cocktail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster distiller, Prof. Dr. Sas, based the recipes on secret manuscripts found in ancient alchemical archives. He deciphered a combination of techniques in which temperatures and timing became an obsession. The multifunctional pot caps have been specially designed for our unique process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTheir philosophy\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach batch of OPIUS, some 200 bottles, is made by hand. Temperature and timing play a crucial role in the triple distillation process developed by Professor Sas. The basis of any good product? Quality ingredients. OPIUS places great importance on finding the right botanicals and herbs with which to infuse its drinks. The names of the products refer to the scientific branch underlying the distillation process: alchemy, and in particular the search for the said elixir of long life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eElixir of Life\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe first step towards this elixir of long life? The scrupulous cleaning and transformation of all ingredients into a dark and uniform material. This step symbolized by a crow has become a metaphor for confronting our internal darkness. His name: “\u003cstrong\u003e nigredo \u003c\/strong\u003e\". OPIUS Nigredo is a dark, toasted non-alcoholic drink, with \u003cstrong\u003enotes of coffee and caramel\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe dark matter is then purified. Impurities are removed in the step \u003cstrong\u003ealbedo\u003c\/strong\u003e, symbolized by the white queen. This is a metaphor for light in darkness. OPIUS Albedo gives tone with its fresh aromas and \u003cstrong\u003espiced with anise and cardamom\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe third stage, or work with yellow, is called \u003cstrong\u003eamaro\u003c\/strong\u003e. Alchemists saw this phase as when a person's soul becomes wise. His symbol is therefore an old sage. OPIUS translated this step into a variant carried by the \u003cstrong\u003ecitrus\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompleting the first three phases gives access to the final stage of creating the elixir of long life: the \u003cstrong\u003erubedo\u003c\/strong\u003e. The interpretation of the work in red by OPIUS is \u003cstrong\u003ea bitter made from orange and flowers\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Opius Distillery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53369072779530,"sku":null,"price":14.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0647\/1404\/7754\/files\/opius-rubedo-small-200ml.webp?v=1784129294","url":"https:\/\/www.sanzalc.com\/en\/products\/opius-rubedo-0-0-200-ml","provider":"Sanzalc, cave sans alcool","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
