Absinthe

From the Jura mountains in Eastern France - namely Pontarlier, which historically was famous for the quality of their absinthe until the 1915 ban - comes this ultra-premium clear absinthe, which won a Gold Medal and was named Best in Class at 2010's International Wine & Spirit Competition.

Fascinating recreation of a lost US-produced pre-Prohibition absinthe, recreated by Swiss absinthe producer Claude-Alain Bugnon of La Clandestine. A twist on the usual french style with citrus peel giving a spicy edge to the anis.

An authentic 'verte' Swiss absinthe made using 12 plants including angelica & grande wormwood. They, controversially, use grande wormwood in the post distillation maceration, giving a vivid natural green colour and a digestif bitterness.

One of the earlier traditionally produced absinthes to hit the shelves as the bans started disappearing around the world, François Guy produce this well-balanced every day absinthe at their distillery in Pontarlier.

This is Jade's recreation of the Verte Suisse style of absinthe as distilled at the C.F. Berger distillery before its 1910 closure when absinthe was banned. A robust absinthe carefully recreated as a slice of history.

An elegantly presented release from absinthe historians Jade, based on the 1901 recipe from a famous manufacturer of absinthe and produced in Saumur in France.

An absinthe based on the work of New Orleans native T.A. Breaux in the early 1900s, bringing a new world style to the traditionally old world spirit.

The first product released by pre-ban absinthe fans Jade, reverse engineered from vintage bottles. Delicately coloured and flavoured, an authentic taste of history.

La Fee's XS collection consists of two extra superior wine based absinthes distilled in Pontarlier, France and Couvet, Val-de-Travers, Switzerland using original recipes and methods. Each distillation is hand-crafted in small quantities using a high proportion of quality herbs, including locally grown Grand Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium). They are classed as ‘amers’ meaning a substantially higher level of wormwood is used. This is the Swiss version.
