La Fee Absinthe
January 15th, 2011 admin Posted in La Fee Absinthe | No Comments »
La Fee is the first maker of absinthe to produce the spirit (distillation and packaging, including) in France after the ban in 1915. Its La Fée Parisienne, distilled in 2000, kickstarted the absinthe revolution that has now taken the globe by storm. Parisienne is also the only absinthe that is approved by Marie-Claude Delahaye, the world renowned absinthe expert and curator and founder of the Absinthe Museum in Auvers-sur-Oise, France.
Other brands under the La Fee mark include the La Fee Absinth Bohemian, the La Fee Absinthe XS (Extra Superieure) Suisse Absinthe and the La Fée XS Française. All these have a common denominator apart from their name and that is that each of these carries important historical attributes from the golden days of the absinthe, from the traditional recipes being used to the location of distillation. Bohemian embodies the rebellious absinthe blend that developed in Czech Republic, one of the few countries that never banned the spirit and thus continued to produce it. XS Suisse Absinthe is La Fee’s nod to the birthplace of absinthe, the Val-de-Travers in Switzerland carrying with it the Swiss’ traditional form of clear absinthe and is even distilled right where it all began. La Fée XS Française embraces absinthe’s French roots, being produced right where the first distillery (and later on most distilleries) of absinthe were built, the town of Pontarlier. XS Francaise varies with Parisienne in its more notable wormwood taste as opposed to the latter’s anise-leaning flavor.
La Fee also introduced an absinthe for the contemporary absintheurs, taking into account the modern-world’s love for cocktails and mixes through the NV Absinthe Verte. This absinthe still has the traditional ingredients that include wormwood, anise and fennel, only they’re mixed with ingredients and through methods that best produces a base for the mixes of modern drinkers.
