The distillery of Philippe Martin is situated in Boveresse, in the Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe and today home to some of the finest absinthe distilleries.
Philippe Martin distills his absinthes in an old house known to locals as La Maison des Chats, a centuries-old building decorated with stone sculptures of cats. Right opposite is the distillery's own garden, where most of the herbs used for Philippe’s absinthe is cultivated.
Philippe took over the distillery from his father Francis Martin in 2014, who distilled for 33 years during the time of the absinthe ban in Switzerland. When absinthe was re-legalized in 2005, Francis received a licence to produce absinthe legally.

The nose is sweet and buttery, and the mouth is complex, with lemon balm making a stronger appearance than anise, though the anise and fennel are clearly present in the mix. The mouth the numbing is excellent, and lingers long after the spirit has passed the throat. I performed the dilution by tap water, but next time around I’ll buy a nice bottled spring water, the flavors are so strong but also so delicate and rich I feel this effort will be rewarded.
