Third Stage Absinthe

Inspired by the past

Enjoyed in the present

Here for the future

A 10th generation Nashvillian, Chase has always had a passion for everything local. When he first tried absinthe he became fascinated by the green fairy, but soon realized that it was hard to find good absinthe anywhere, much less locally. So he decided that Nashville was the ideal place to start one of the few absinthe brands currently made in the nation, and the first Absinthe Verte made in Tennessee. After years of trial and error, he developed the recipe that became the absinthe that you enjoy today when you drink Third Stage. 

Chase approached Nashville Craft Distillery in early 2018 to discuss the idea of bringing an absinthe brand to Tennessee. Bruce Boeko, owner of Nashville Craft, thought that absinthe fit his vision well. Nashville Craft Distillery shut down in 2025, but Third Stage can still be found at liquor stores and bars around Tennessee and other states like Florida. Third Stage is actively pursuing a new distillery partnership.

We aim to create an absinthe that like Music City, is authentic, creative, and exciting. Great times are ahead for the city, its many stages, and the absinthe industry. We are excited for you to join us for the show.
