Absinthe Blanchette 60% - 20cl

It is the replica of an ancient absinthe, beautifully combining the fruity flavours of fennel to those of a powerful Grand Wormwood. A success.

IT was awarded the “Cuillère d'Or” at the 2006 Absinthiades in Pontarlier, France, as well as the silver medal at the “International Wine & Spirits Competition” the same year.

La Blanchette was produced by Combiers between 1899 and 1915. Today it is Ted Breaux who produces it in an antique still true to the original recipe.

A clear French absinthe worthy of the greatest Swiss ones.

Serving Suggestion

- At first, savour Blanchette with half a piece of sugar. Then add more or less according to your taste. - For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measure of fresh water.

Did you know?

- In 1920, the Combier distillery purchased stills from Maison Pernod Fils. Ted Breaux nowadays produces absinthes such as Nouvelle-Orléans, Edouard, Verte Suisse and… Blanchette. - This distillery in Saumur specialised in the production of Guignolet (a liqueur made from sour cherries). However, Blanchette was their flagship product and the most sold! No doubt a sign of the craze for absinthe in those days. - Blanchette participated at the 2007 Absinthiades where it was awarded third place.
