Absinthexplore La Capricieuse - 50 ml
- Alcohol Content : 72°
- Production Method : Distillation
- Country of origin : Switzerland
- Distillery : Artémisia-Bugnon
A “Bleue” full of complexity.
Made with more than 10 plants, this absinthe is issued from the same recipe as its sister la Clandestine.
With a higher level of alcohol, la Capricieuse has is less mellow but reveals more aromas.
It is one of the first absinthes distilled in the Val-de-Travers, cradle of this drink’s distillation. Its traditional production uses only natural products.
For amateurs of strong emotions!
Palate : Remarkable freshness. Aniseed attack developing rapidly into notes of fennel and wormwood.
Finish : Excellent length on the palate and agreeable bitterness.
The following year, having received a recipe from one of his friends, he decided to make a living from distilling.
In 2004, he applied for permission to produce absinthe, and at the end of that same year, he shipped his first order to Germany.
A few months later, on the 1st of March 2005, the Federal Council decided to legalize absinthe in Switzerland. The end of this 95 year old abolition pleased everyone.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measure of fresh water.

New to the infamous drink, this was the second Blanche I have tried. First being the La Clandestine. Lets say this. La Capricieuse blows it to pieces. This is not to say that Clandestine is not a good Blanche. But this one is everything Clandestine is, but better. The higher alcohol content brings out the robust flavor notes found in this amazing blend. I was surprised to find out it is not a top seller, actually its not even close.
Blanches are not my everyday absinthe. I would like to explore many more Verte before traveling back to this emerald bottle. I find that Verte are just more interesting. But make no mistake about it ladies and gents, Capricieuse will knock your socks off and automatically go to a high ranking place on your list.
Quite simply, this is my favorite Swiss Bleue. Lovely to enjoy outside on a summer evening. Very well made.
I just tried some today: indeed is Capricieuse...
There is a good combination of aromas within a strong character and complexity; it shares some characteristics from La Clandestine but in a different fashion.
A little too much alcohol for me, but an excellent choice to enjoy absinthe.
