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!
Absinthe La Faucille is one of four organic absinthes produced at the Aymonier Distillery in France. This absinthe has a very light green color because the distillers macerate it only for a very short period of time. A real absinthe made only 10km away from Pontarlier, historically the most important location for absinthe production. The Aymonier distillery has the perfect location for both growing their own herbs at an ideal altitude, and collaborating with distillers from the area that have been making absinthe for many, many decades.
Absinthe La Perchée is a strong, clear absinthe distilled in France. The herbs used to create this real absinthe are grown at an altitude ideal for alpine plants. La Perchée is one out of four organic absinthes made at the Aymonier Distillery near Pontarlier.
