-10%
+ a free absinthe spoon
La Valdetra Verte absinthe is distilled by the only female Swiss distiller: Gaudentia Persoz.
- At first, savour La Valdetra Verte with half a piece of sugar. With the next glass, use more of less sugar according to taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measures of fresh water.
Gaudentia one of the first female distillers. She is young, and passionate about absinthe, and distills with an historic recipe from 1898, that she found, along with a small alambic, when she and her husband purchased their house in Couvet, Switzerland.
The distillery is a member of the “Les Artisans de l'Absinthe” association – it's most popular absinthe: La P'tite. Gaudentia's husband Jean-Michel is responsible for Marketing and Sales of thei products, and together these two people form an unbeatable team.

Added on the : 25/03/2020 EnglishA complex and flavorful absinthe. Starts off lime green and then turns a light minty green when it produces it's milky louche. Green anise on the aroma with fennel undertones and an herbal note of wormwood. Flavor is interesting as I did notice some fresh basil and spearmint along with the anise and fennel. This is more of a boldly flavored absinthe verte. Finishes with a pleasent bite from the wormwood. I used half a sugar cube when I poured it. I would definitely recommend giving it a go. I certainly enjoyed it.

Added on the : 18/06/2018 EnglishA very enjoyable glass! I blame only myself when I say I still prefer the Jade 1901. I will say that the Valdetra Verte has piqued my interest to sample more of Gaudentia Persoz Distillery's offerings!

Added on the : 19/11/2016 EnglishWow, this is a great absinthe!
I know a lot of work went into making this, and it shows.
A beautiful green colour before water is added, a thick opalescent louche that builds fast when dripping cold water. (In my case with a wonderful see-saw dripper, wich it self is sort of a fast dripper.)
Not a lot of aroma in the air, but still a very pleasant one.
The taste is exquisite and complex. There's a lot going on here. Anis and fennel is prominent, but in no way overpowering.
After a couple of sips other herbs is coming thru, delicate and almost floral. Semi-sweet and no bitterness at all.
I mixed it 2,5/1 with no sugar.
Excellent absinthe!

Added on the : 19/11/2014 EnglishIt´s okey absinthe, but the best I have ever tried is the new Swedish absinthe from the destillery Svensk Absint, called Grön Opal, that absinthe is so near the orginal absinthe from the late 18th century and I can recommend it. I hope you soon can sell it here:-) because it´s so hard to find.

Added on the : 29/11/2013 EnglishWhat can I say? I'm developing my palate right now and this stuff is rocking me after a glass and a half:) The taste is reminiscent of Roquette 1797. This elixir is smooth, probably one of the smoothest I have tried (I've tried around 25).
Enjoyed it as a sample from the absinthexplore 50 ml tube.
So good and so gone:(

Added on the : 27/03/2013 EnglishTops all the absinthes I have tried so far, and that's about 9 different Swiss and French ones. Had a suspicion about how natural the color is as it comes in a clear bottle, but that is a minor issue for me. What counts for me is taste and mouth feel.
