Description: A limited, experimental batch of an absinthe mainly based on the characteristic profile of wormwood.
Description: [From the manufacturer] Blanche Traditionelle presents extremely concentrated aromas from the variety of aromatic plants used including grand and petite wormwood, green anise, coriander, hyssop, génépi, camomile, fennel, veronica and angelica. It is remarkably intense in taste, yet retains the impression of sweetness and is only lightly bitter. It should be served mixed with a minimum of 4 parts ice-water and sugar can be added if you prefer, but always keep in mind that it is twice as strong as virtually any other commercial spirit.
Description: According to Absinthe.de: Absinthe Brevans is named for Jacques de Brevans, author of the French liquor-maker's manual, "La Fabrication des Liqueurs". It is based from a recipe in this book dating from 1897. The base alcohol is a balanced mixture of wine alcohol and marc and the herbs used are sourced from the same region as those used by the most famous historical absinthe distillers. Absinthe Brevans is colored naturally, and only with additional plants. The result is a highly complex, authentically reproduced absinthe, worthy of the best makers of the past.
Description: According to Liqueurs de France: "Absinthe 'Clandestine' is an authentic La Bleue made in Couvet, Val-de-Travers, Switzerland, the birthplace of absinthe. Its creator Claude-Alain Bugnon was the first clandestine distiller granted legal status by the Swiss government in the spring of 2005. For years he had been responsible for a certain quantity of bootlegged absinthe that brought so much attention and status to this small region. His 'Clandestine' has been and is still considered by many to be the best Swiss La Bleue available today. After tasting several this year at the Boveresse Absinthe Festival, we had to agree and have made arrangements to make it available to our valued clientele. Fresh as an Alpine meadow with bright anise, wildflower and wormwood aromas, a touch of honey and a refreshing, long taste. This absinthe is left uncolored and clear (the bottle is blue) and will take on a milkly opalescence when cold water is added. It is said that Swiss "La Bleue" style absinthes got their name because blue reflections can sometimes be seen in the bright white cloudiness of the louche."
Description: From the manufacturer: After conquering the Swiss market, Charlotte la Clandestine wanted to participate in the French Absinthiades in Pontarlier. In order to conform to the strict French laws a new product was conceived only ten days before the actual event. A new product, a new label and… a new medal. Marianne was awarded the Golden Spoon of 2005.
Marianne is of a sharper taste than the Clandestine; less smooth and rather piquant and spicy, with a mild bitterness. A perfect absinthe of 55% vol. with a long-lasting flavor.
Description: According to Oxygenee.com: The Dornier-Tuller bottle is a major rarity, the only sealed bottle of this prestigious high quality Pontarlier marque I've ever seen.
Description: Absinthe DuVallon is produced in Val-de-Travers, Switzerland and holds an abv of 53%. Official site: http://duvallon.over-blog.com/
Description: From the manufacturer: Absinthe Duplais Balance is the third and last in the Duplais series. The basis is the same as the other Duplais (Verte and Blanche) a formula from the well known book of P.Duplais from the 19th century, which was slightly adjusted. Meaningless to mention that we use the same high quality herbs that we use for the other Duplais products.
Description: [From the manufacturer] Absinthe Duplais is produced with the typical Swiss precision and care. The base is a French receipt dating back to the 19th century. Absinthe Duplais is distilled on old stills, this way we can assure that the result is accurate and authentic. Herbs are maybe the most important factor when it comes to high quality Absinthe. Therefore we have selected the best possible quality to make Absinthe Duplais an adorable, excellent drink.
Description: According to http://www.absinthe.se : This absinthe (comes from) Absinthvertrieb.de. Not entirely surprising since much of this product is thanks to Markus Lion of Absinthvertrieb.de himself… In co-operation with the people at the Matter Luginbühl distillery (the people behind the Kallnacher Blanche) they manufacture this - the first commercial Swiss verte in a very long time.
Description: A new distilled absinthe from the famous Val-deTravers. Pays de Fées is a nickname of the Val-deTravers. The Elixier du Pays de Fees is an La Bleue and for the distillation local grown wormwood is used.
Description: According to http://www.absintheonline.com : Kallnacher Absinth (using the local German-Swiss spelling) is made by a distillation of traditional plants, including locally grown wormwood, is finished at 55% alcohol and is left uncoloured in the style of Val-de-Travers 'la Bleue'. This is a classic clear Swiss absinthe with pure wormwood and anise to the fore. In a blind-tasting, it is impossible to distinguish from many of the previously clandestine 'la Bleue' absinthes.
Description: The Kallnacher Red Absinth isn't really an absinthe, but rather a ready mixed absinthe-cocktail or cocktail base. It's a bitter much like Campari, mixed with Kallnacher Blanche. The base for the Kallnacher Red Absinth is the Martinazzi, a bitter produced by the Matter-Luginbühl distillery, Kallnach, Switzerland. Enjoy the Kallnacher Red Absinth either straight on the rocks or mixed with club soda or sparkling water. Note: The scores in the reviews are adjusted to match this not being an absinthe. The maximum score is lowered to 80 instead of 100.
Description: This was the initial Kübler absinthe at a lower strength, today more or less replaced by the 57 and 53% versions. Further info (in French): http://www.absinthe.ch
Description: According to http://www.absintheonline.com/: "Kübler Absinthe is the first Swiss absinthe to become commercially available and our customers are in for a real treat. Such was the reputation of its absinthes that during the 19th century ‘Swiss’ was adopted as an indication of the highest quality regardless of whether the absinthe was produced in Switzerland, France or elsewhere ... As with all of Liqueurs de France’s absinthes, Kübler is made in an alembic still following original techniques, using only natural plants, rather than extracts or oils. Kübler Absinthe is finished at 53% abv., in accordance with local traditions ..."
