The Emeraude by the Bovet distillery is a rather strong absinthe in appearance as it contains 77% alcohol. But under this appearance, it hides a very round and creamy taste that can surprise. This is the only Verte from the Bovet distillery. Let’s see what if the connoisseur Marc Thuillier has been surprised by this verte.

The Bovet Le Chat absinthe is made at a local family distillery in Switzerland, and can be described as a classic and typical Swiss Bleue. Since I have a weakness for all absinthes made in the Val-de-Travers (they are my kryptonite), I thought I’d seize the opportunity to let you in on my opinion about this one!
Absinthe DuVallon Blanche is recognized as one of the finest Bleues from the Val-de-Travers. It is traditionally distilled by an ex-clandestine distiller whose mother also distilled illegally during 40 years. Absinthe connoisseur Marc Thuillier wrote some tasting notes for us.
Absinthe La Valdetra Verte is something fairly rare: There aren’t many green absinthes distilled in Switzerland. Absinthe La Valdetra Verte is not just a clever word play (..it’s distilled in the Val-de-Travers…), it’s a premium absinthe distilled by one of the very few female absinthe distillers worldwide, Gaudentia Persoz. Her green absinthe is renowned for it’s lovely fennel profile and a nice, natural sweetness. Let’s find out more!

Last week, we had organized an Absinthe Tasting at our local store in Germany with absinthe distiller Gaudentia Persoz. She distills classic Swiss absinthes in the Val-de-Travers, the place absinthe was first invented.
Since she is one of the very few female absinthe distillers worldwide, we can with no doubt call her the green Fairy!
