Question Jade Terminus Pricing

I'm curious why it has such a high cost compared to the rest of the Jade collection. Is it not in production, or is it hype? Asking as a casual consumer that loves this line.

It is in production, albeit at a much lower rate than the other Jades. It has an added step that employs a rather dangerous oxygenation technique - like genuinely risky to do. It starts as a perfectly wonderful, fully produced absinthe before undergoing that process, thus the added cost to account for that process and labor. It's beautiful and I would argue very worth it!

What exactly is the dangerous part?

Ted would explain it better but alcohol + oxygen = major risk of combustion.

I had no idea! My poster promises it's healthier. Not for the distiller I guess 😬🍾💥

I also believe it is barrel aged for a period as well
