A brand-new French product: Lucid (62%abv – American owned) launched in the USA in 2007. This was after America adopted the rules on Thujone (which we used for Europe in 1998) via the codex committee on food additives in December 2006: Crucially, Zero Thujone was re-classified as 10ppm or less in a Spirit they did not adopt the 35 ppm allowed for Amers in the EU, opening up the USA to the spirit. La Fée Absinth Bohemian is a modern absinth that has a vibrant bright green colour and an electric blue rim.

La Fée is distilled using three artemisia plants at its heart: Grand (Artemisia absinthium) & Petit Absinthe (Artemisia pontica) and Genepi (Genepi Artemisia), Green and Star Anise, Fennel, Hyssop and Coriander. YES: France claims its rightful place on the world stage for the Absinthe category… A part of her heritage and a national right! Absinthe makes you go mad.’ In the late 19th and early 20th century, France’s temperance advocates hammered this message home so zealously that it led to a ban in 1915. It wasn’t until the 1990s that absinthe, in its authentic form, reappeared. And a variety of other herbs to each distillers choosing… (La Fée Absinthe Parisienne contains a secret ingredient a rare herb which the museum insists is present and adds to its balance)All-natural ingredients and colour (macerated herbs), distilled in France. Central ingredient being Grand Absinthe (Artemisia absinthium) and having a classic strength of 68%abv. April 2010: First meeting of the FFS (Fédération Française des Spiritueux) for French Absinthe distillers La Fée present a dossier of evidence to support France’s position against the possible harmonisation of this IPG across the EU (copy of the dossier is included with this presentation on the USB drive) They teamed up: Moore on the PR and Rowley, among other things, on the creation of a template to legalise the drink in the EU (the Czech Republic was not yet a member). ‘I went to three labs in the UK and not one of them could do the proper chemical compound analysis – crazy!’ says Rowley. But with the help of Prague University, the analysis tools were created to do a proper commercial test. My company set out to change absinthe’s status as merely an artefact of the past. Reading about absinthe is one thing. But seeing it, smelling it, tasting it, and finally experiencing it take one both physically and mentally to another level of understanding.

( June 2014) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) There are eight natural ingredients in La Fée absinthe: three types of wormwood (grand, petit and genepi), two types of anise (star and green), fennel, coriander and hyssop. ‘We kept the use of genepi, or “mountain wormwood”, a secret for years – it’s definitely something that sets us apart,’ says Rowley. All these accounts clearly demonstrate how inextricably absinthe became entwined with the culture of France, her capital, communities and colonies, far off New Orleans, and less obviously with Switzerland. Equally clear is that all these are historical accounts, describing the world of absinthe as it was before various bans were imposed against it more than a hundred years ago. University, they carried out 1st commercial tests for him since 1915 ban, proving absinthe with thujone, was within EU limits to imbibe, enabling absinthe return at The Groucho Club, Soho, London, November 1998.

Versinthe first product was a cold soak with added sugar at 45%ABV, though did contain some wormwood technically not an Absinthe and labeled as an ANIS spirit, similar to Pastis. We believe in around 2002 they produced their first distilled Absinthe: Versinthe La Blanche.
