The nose neat is a powerful smooth spirit with a noticeable herbal Artemisia profile with soft tones of anis, fennel and spicy coriander showing… … after dilution the louche effect has turned the absinthe supérieure to a milky, opalescent green/yellow and opens up the aroma and taste, as the essential oils trapped in the distillations are released, filling the air and your senses. Absinthe becomes widely exported around the world. New York, New Orleans and as far as China, enjoyed by millions in the heyday of the Belle Époque 1871 to 1914.

I created this light and refreshing alternative to a rum mojito as an easy way to enjoy absinthe. Great as an aperitif or for hot weather, an interesting fresh change to a standard mojito or gin and tonic. Great drink, easy to make" Oscar Wilde - Famed author and playwright of such works as 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'. Drank absinthe at Café Royal, London My company set out to change absinthe’s status as merely an artefact of the past. Reading about absinthe is one thing. But seeing it, smelling it, tasting it, and finally experiencing it take one both physically and mentally to another level of understanding. Absinthe opens a door in time to a bygone age, bringing to life the heady atmosphere of Paris in the thirty years of decadence and enlightenment which led up to the Great War of 1914.La Fée is the only Brand to have the endorsement and direct involvement of the French Absinthe Museum and Marie-Claude Delahaye. A unique quality control procedure that applies to both our Absinthe Supérieure, Parisienne and Blanche. It was widely propagated that absinthe’s principal ingredient, wormwood, had hallucinogenic properties, which made you do irrational, impulsive things. Nonsense, of course, but that disparaging one-liner remains in hearts and minds, even today. In reality, absinthe was merely a contributor to the alcoholism that pervaded Europe at the time. La Fée captures the aroma and taste that great writers and artists such as Rimbaud, Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent Van Gogh enjoyed at the end of the 19th century”. Marie-Claude Delahaye

Today, the Green Fairy’s enduring allure is imbued in La Fée’s branding and the novel serves it has created to bring absinthe to a wider audience. Rowley’s first-ever customer – a certain Johnny Depp – has no doubt helped to shift a few cases, too.La Fée Parisienne was the first traditional absinthe distilled in France since the 1915 ban and is the only absinthe endorsed by the Musée de l’Absinthe, Auvers-sur-Oise, France. Each distillation is personally approved by world-renowned absinthe expert, Marie-Claude Delahaye. The joy of Czech Beer is its fullness of flavour, combined with the fact that Bohemia is not only the heartland, but in my view the birthplace of true lager-brewing. In Prague we would sit in cool Bohemian bars wondering what it was that made the beer taste so good and why the same beer (if it could be found at all in the UK) seemed to be a shadow of its former self. Was it’s original character somehow lost in the transportation process? Or was the magical Bohemian atmosphere of Prague going to our heads? Grande Absinthe (Wormwood), Genepi (Alpine Wormwood), Star Anise, Fennel, Coriander, Green Anise, Southern, Wormwood, Hyssop We had already come across John’s name during our own research while reading an article he had written in an early edition of The Idler. At the time absinth was only available in a few Prague bars, and if any other source existed in Prague or the rest of Bohemia, its profile was low to the point of invisibility. Although I had been working and playing in Prague since 1993, I had not come across any noticeable presence of absinth while I was there. Italy was one of the last countries to ban absinthe following a referendum in 1930s. Absinthe was consigned to history until our intervention!

Absinthe was born in Couvet, Switzerland at the end of the 18th century as a digestive centered around the medicinal plant wormwood - artemisia absinthium, the herb absinthe takes its name. John Moore is a musician and writer who’s many talents include coaxing ethereal sounds from the musical saw and writing blogs for newspapers. In his article for The Idler he describes stumbling across absinth whilst on tour with his band in Prague, and finding himself drawn to its romance and hedonistic appeal. All these accounts clearly demonstrate how inextricably absinthe became entwined with the culture of France, her capital, communities and colonies, far off New Orleans, and less obviously with Switzerland. Equally clear is that all these are historical accounts, describing the world of absinthe as it was before various bans were imposed against it more than a hundred years ago.April 1998 Rowley applied EU directive for spirits crafting the legal status absinthe uses to this day. La Fée Absinthe Parisienne was first distilled in July 2000 [1] in association with the Musée de l’Absinthe, Auvers-sur-Oise, France, and its founder and curator, Marie-Claude Delahaye, who is also a Director of La Fée LLP. [2] It was the first absinthe to be legally distilled and bottled in France since the 1915 ban. It is distilled in copper stills at the Cherry Rocher distillery in the Rhône-Alpes region of south-east France and contains nine different herbs and spices, including Artemisia absinthium (Grande Wormwood) and Artemisia pontica (Petite Wormwood). It is bottled at 68% ABV: The traditional strength for French absinthe was 68% ABV - 72% ABV. This article contains content that is written like an advertisement.
