La Fée Absinthe X•S Suisse

La Fée X•S Suisse is produced in the Val-de-Travers region of Switzlerland in the small town of Couvet. Each distillation takes place in small copper stills that produce just over 100 bottles. The finest locally grown herbs, including wormwood are soaked over night, after which natural spring water straight from the Swiss mountains is added. The herbs, wine alcohol and water are then distilled gently for many hours. This results in a clear ‘La Bleue’ extra superior Swiss absinthe that has a smooth texture and delicate anise flavour.

Serving

Enjoy by slowly adding three to four parts iced water, which creates a beautiful louche of opalescent colour turning milky white and releases an array of aromas.
