Production Notes

La Clandestine Absinthe Superieure is crafted using an age-old distillation method. The phased process begins with an initial maceration of various alpine herbs, including wormwood, green anise, star anise, fennel, and coriander. The solution is then distilled in copper stills, and the process is repeated to achieve the desired concentration and quality.

The final product is a finely curated absinthe that harks back to the traditional Swiss recipes but with its very own signature. A spirit that has been distilled twice, creating a clean and clear drink often referred to as ‘la Bleue’ in its homeland.
