Good evening fellow Absintheurs!

My name is Alain Diable. You can call me Alain.
You may know me as a frequent visitor of the Moulin Vert, the notorious Absinthe bar of Montmartre. But I want make sure you know that I am also a sexual dynamo, a promoter of all things bohemian, a hater of the bourgeoisie and an devoted ALANDIA Absintheur!

Last weekend I was invited to join the jury of the Absinthe Fair Absinthiades in Pontarlier. On this event the best Absinthes are awarded by a group of experienced Absintheurs. This time a very interesting Absinthe was presented. FrancoSuisse, a Suisse distilled Absinthe with a unique recipe adapted for the French Absinthe market. And I have to say, the Swiss made their homework! Without any doubt I have to admit (although I´m French..) that they distill some decent Absinthes...The gold medal winner FrancoSuisse tastes too good to sip only one glass. The smoothness of 55% alcohol combined with only the finest locally grown herbs creates an unforgetable mouthfeel. Uhh, I have to have another glass...

Au revoir mes amis,

History:

ALANDIAs FrancoSuisse Absinthe (Recette Marianne) is the Gold Medal winner of this years Absinthiades, the Absinthe fair in Pontarlier, France. It is the second Suisse Absinthe from Mr. Bugnon, the distiller of our famous La Bleue Clandestine. Mr. Bugnon calls the recipe for this Absinthe "Marianne" which expresses that the taste is quite different compared to the Clandestine. Less fennel and more melissa and peppermint is used for the distillation. The aim of this Absinthe was to create a Suisse Absinthe with a note of the French Absinthe culture. The result is a very unique and refreshing taste. Like the La Bleue Clandestine FrancoSuisse has a flowerish smell and an intensive milky louche. A definite choice when you like the La Bleue Clandestine!

We recommend to serve FrancoSuisse Absinthe with one (or none) sugar cube and two parts cold water.
