01 La Clandestine Originale - 70 cl

Our first absinthe was launched when Swiss absinthe was legalised on March 1st, 2005. The recipe is based on more than ten plants. A great wealth of aromas and then a lingering but subtle bitterness are its main characteristics.

This absinthe won first place and the "Golden Absinthe" prize at the National Competition of Swiss spirits on September 16, 2005.

Producer: Artemisia-Bugnon

Alcohol: 53% alcohol by volume (abv), or 106 proof.

Serve: 2.5 to 3 cl with 4/5 parts of water. Some absinthe lovers like to pour the water slowly over sugar, but we like La Clandestine "au naturel." 

Customer Reviews:

Very high quality liquor - puts many other absinthes I have tried to shame with sharp, clear taste and aroma. Very well balanced and perfect mix of
bitter, savory and almost sweet herbs. Good wormwood bitterness at finish but not so much that I need to use sugar. Though most people I know prefer
a little sugar. I have even consumed it nearly straight - with just enough water for a louche and it is very tasty.

great on the rocks! love it after a meal. not after morning meal. lunch? evening is best, when the sun is going down, hanging out by the bb-q smoker,
burn one. just under 100 degrees here in florida. by the pool. nice cool refreshing drink. kind of like liquid dental floss! ahhh! very nice.
thanks, robert.
