UK craft distiller Pocketful of Stones has lined up the release of an absinthe. Morveren Absinthe, which is 66% abv, is set to launch in the UK from mid June. The Cornwall-based company said the product is made from "local Cornish ingredients and and named after the legend of the mermaid Morveren".

Pocketful of Stones was founded by Shaun Bebington and Paul Motley. The company also produces Caspyn Gin.

"I was intrigued to give Absinthe a go and wanted to challenge myself," said Bebington. "It meant working with flavours one might not normally use but I also wanted to stick to ingredients and the environment that influences us here on the Cornish coast."
