LA CLANDESTINE ABSINTHE 750

Special Order

A long-term favorite of absinthe lovers, La Clandestine is hand-crafted in Couvet, Switzerland: the village where absinthe was born in the 1790s. Based on a 1935 recipe when absinthe was produced "underground" in Switzerland, La Clandestine is distilled by Claude-Alain Bugnon, the only distiller to win four Golden Spoons at the French Absinthiades, sometimes known as the "Absinthe Oscars." The terroir is very important for Claude-Alain: most of the plants used in La Clandestine grow locally in meadows in the foothills of the Alps. With a recipe made up of more than 10 plants, it has, at first nosing, a wonderful richness of aromas, followed by a lingering light bitterness. Its distiller prefers to drink it without adding sugar.
