- During the Belle Epoque, after Pontarlier, Fougerolles had the highest number of producers of absinthe. Sometimes some of the casks from Fougerolles were sent to Pontarlier to cover their needs.
The Devoille distillery was founded in 1859. It still bears the name of its founder, Paul Devoille, since he largely contributed to its success and the beginning of the century. He is to be thanked for the recipe of Libertine (1894), now preciously kept at the Musée des Eaux de Vie in Lapoutroie, France.
After having belonged to Raymond Gouttefroy (son-in-law of Paul Devoille), the distillery was handed over to René de Miscault in 1985. The latter considerably changed the running of the company and enlarged the range of its products and also opened the Paul Devoille distillery to the public.
Today it is Hugues de Miscault, the son of René de Miscault, who runs this family distillery.
- At first, savour Soixante Cinq with half a piece of sugar. Then add more or less according to your taste.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 4 measures of iced water.

Added on the : 21/12/2018 English., I ordered this Absinthe once,..and was very disappointed.,.first off; I hate the name - “Soixante Cinq”... really?..it was named after the amount of alcohol in this Absinthe? .65. To me, that’s incredibly Lame..!!... the taste was dull, unimpressive, and rather watery...to be honest, I never really liked Absinthe from Fougerolle...very dirty, and hard to believe they use wine alcohol...insufficient amounts of Wormwood, THIS IS NOT A BITTER-SPIRIT....I’ve been drinking Absinthe for about 10yrs now., this was my first unsatisfying Absinthe.... I usually prefer Swiss made Absinthe, but there’s obviously some excellent French Absinthes that I adore.....

Added on the : 09/07/2018 EnglishA well made absinthe with no surprises or weirdness going on. The louche is quite nice and every sip delivers a balanced bouquet of herbs on a fine wine-alcohol base. A pleasue to drink. 1:4 no sugar.

Added on the : 13/07/2017 EnglishAmazing anise aroma to this bottle! This is one of the most unique absinthes I've tried. Hints of fruit with that classic Devoille wormwood taste! Very pleasant wine base gives this stuff a soothing mouth feel. Will definitely buy this again. Sante!

Added on the : 18/05/2017 EnglishNothing special about this French Absinthe...the louche is definitely not great...can gets too watery, no thickness, no creaminess...a bit boring, the herbs used are not the best quality...the only positive take from this product is the use of Wine alcohol...it's the 1st thing I noticed. I'm going back to the Swiss Absinthe. I won't purchase this again...

Added on the : 30/11/2016 EnglishAnother one that has more or less become my standard absinthe. It's definitely (!) worth its price as one of the cheaper brands (cheap in price but a no bogus absinthe at all or "cheap" in taste). Goes pretty well diluted for me.

Added on the : 28/07/2015 EnglishThis was a great discovery in my last shipment. The dark green color in the bottle was a great initial clue as to the contents as they louched. I lean towards a darker bottle green coloration in my vertes. Slow build up in color then led to a brilliant jade glass of liquid green clouds. A bit of a bitter bite - not too much - but enough to signal the presence of Artemesia Absinthium and to let say "hello" to your mouth. Love this Absinthe at this price point. Glad I tried it.

Added on the : 03/05/2013 EnglishFirst time I've tried this one. I was very impressed with how thick the louche was after three parts of spring water and ice. After a few drinks, I tried it with the Absinthe Cami Songe Vert. I was not disappointed!! Will reorder again. Thanks!
