About this deal

La Fée Absinthe Parisienne, the brand original, is a clasic spirit based on an authentic 19th century recipe, distilled in conjunction with the French Absinthe Museum (Auvers-sur-Oise) with Grand Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and other traditional herbs and spices.

La Fée Parisienne Absinthe is the only absinthe authenticated by Marie-Claude Delahaye who is the founder of the absinthe museum. Three Artemisia plants at her heart; Grand Absinthe, Petti Absinthe and Genépi (most other Absinthe’s use only two). Then taste and aroma of the botanicals that are released by the drop in abv through dilution to drinking strength (12% to 16%abv). Parisienne is distilled at the traditional 68% abv following an authentic 19th century recipe and louches perfectly when water is added. Based on a 19th Century recipe, La Fée Parisiennie Absinthe is strong and powerful, with a distinctly herbal profile of iconic anis, finished by notes of fennel, coriander and hyssop.For the classic serve, pour a measure of La Fee Parisienne into a glass and place an absinthe spoon over the glass. There are hints of fennel and apple fruit characters with a round textural mouth feel that is both smooth and refreshing. Not as bitter as its Grand cousin, pontica is utilised for its herbal aroma rather than adding any discernible flavour. The nose is neat and powerful, with a distinctly herbal profile opening up reveal iconic anise, with notes of fennel, coriander and hyssop. Enabling better consistency and quality, which is crucial when your spirits are so delicately balanced.

This involves mascerating the botanicals in the base spirit which imparts a natural green colour to the finished product and is identical to the techniques used in the 1800's. But if prepared in the correct way with ice cold water dripped over a sugar cube set over a glass of absinthe (spoon comes with the absinthe) it's quite delightful. Since July 2013 La Fee Parisienne has been made with 100% natural ingredients including 45% grand wormwood, a much higher proportion than before.With a base alcohol made from Beet it's flavoured with the well known Woodworm along with 8 other herbs and spices. It has been awarded the prestigious Gold Medal at the International Spirits Competition, further solidifying its position as a top choice among absinthe enthusiasts.

Please do not attempt to enter this web site if you are not above the legal age of drinking alcohol in your country of residence. Powerful and rich with deep liquorice flavour, Star Anise is used sparingly as it is easy to overpower the more subtle herbs.To protect the all-natural Parisienne the bottle has been coated with a special UV inhibitor to protect the liquid against sunlight, which can quickly damage the natural green.
