Angelique Fee Verte Absinthe

A classic Swiss verte Absinthe for the connoisseur.
 
Claude-Alain Bugnon — one of the most famous producers of high-quality Absinthe in Switzerland. He operates his Absinthe empire from his Distillerie Artemisia at the eastern edge of Val-de-Travers in Neuchâtel, Switzerland. In addition to producing Absinthe under contract for a wide assortment of brands, he produces several house brands and varieties to sell under his own nameplates.
 
Angelique Fee Verte Absinthe is a play on words. In the old days, Absinthe was sometimes referred to as the “green fairy” or “green angel.” Claude-Alain’s daughter is also named Angelique. and this particular variety of Absinthe has angelica root as a core ingredient. The rest of the macerations are straight-forward as you might expect, with plenty of grande wormwood, fennel, anise, and eight additional herbs. It is a traditional Swiss verte (green) Absinth that has long been considered the first choice of connoisseurs at 68% ABV.
