Description
Suisse La Bleue Absinthe is a must try Absinthe for every true Absintheur. We love it so much, that we can almost guarantee, that you will love it as well. The name of this Absinthe refers to the slightly blueish louched color when you add water to the spirit. Other than that, this Absinthe is pure and clear as a diamant. In Switzerland, close to the city Bern and its magnificient mountain scenery, Suisse La Bleue is produced. The distillation takes place on a copper still, using traditional artisan methods. As the coloration step is skipped, the taste of Suisse La Bleue is extremely smooth. Sipping this Absinthe is a sensory experience, the scent of honey and flowers, and the complexity of the first sip introduces you into a fascinating world of taste. Definitely an experience you will never forget.
INFO: Switzerland is often considered as the birthplace of Absinthe. In the 19th century, wormwood for the big Absinthe distilleries was cultivated in the Swiss valley Val-de-Travers in the Jura mountains. The humid climate guaranteed best quality. Right across the border, in the French city Pontarlier, many Absinthe companies, for example Pernod, had their headquarters.
Why is there a freaky monk on the label of Absinthe Suisse La Bleue?
In Switzerland Absinthe prohibition took place in the year 1910. The label of Absinthe Suisse La Bleue shows the original Absinthe prohibition poster. The date and picture on the left side symbolizes the founding of Switzerland, on the right side you see rotten landscape, symbolizing the downturn of the country blamed on the Green Fairy. In the middle you see the anti-alcohol monk, which has defeated the Green Fairy. Actually this poster was an ironic reaction to Absinthe prohibition. The Swiss always loved Absinthe and although Absinthe production was prohibited for 100 years you could always find clandestine Absinthes throughout the country. In clear color, to camouflage the real content of the bottle.

- honey & flowers Review by Steven
It honestly does smell of honey & flowers. The taste is light & refreshing...nearly non-alcoholic unless prepared in more equal ratio of liquor to water. Beautiful louche, careful balance of anise with everything else (couldn't begin to guess what else is in there). Really quite, quite good. Not as complex as some of the other absinthe's I've had, but I believe this is what a la bleue is supposed to represent -- something more straightforward.

as far as the ones I have tried with anise, this one is definitely my favorite. A very nice color and wonderful flavor, the licorice taste is not too overwhelming. This has an extremely milky louche, probably the nicest I have seen. I am looking forward to trying the green version as I think a slightly higher alcohol content might give a bit of the bite it is missing. Otherwise, a fantastic drink. I give it a solid 4 (Posted on 12/15/2022)Rating - Absinthe is my new Tequila Review by TomTom
I really enjoy the blue's, I enjoy a thick louche and the herbal tastes are my favorite. I wanted to give a comparison review so those of you that are looking for another bottle or the first, you can use this to aid you for what you are looking for. These are my opinions and I have become exclusive to Absinthe and Alandia's service! I once drank tequila and vodka... now it's Absinthe. Timothy Leary said something about changing society by changing the substance it uses... Absinthe would make a mighty colorful and interesting use out of society...

this stuff is great, definately strong in the thujone. i'm glad i finally broke down and ordered it. i only gave it a four because i've only tried two different kinds and i believe there is always something better out there. (Posted on 12/15/2022)Rating - 5 star rating all the way Review by Adrianne
My husband and I have been drinking Alandia absinthe for over 2 years now and this is by far my favorite absinthe. If you prefer a sweet tasting absinthe, as do I, than this is the one for you. Its smooth and not too overpowering like some of the stronger bottles. I mix 3 to 1 with super chilled ice water and 1 to 2 sugar cubes. I continue to add one of these to every order and give it a 5 star rating all the way. (Posted on 12/15/2022)Rating - Excellent Review by eazyB
The aroma and flavor of this particular absinthe was excellent, I must admit. However the effect known as the "Green Fairy" never materialized. No inspiration was gained, no elephants trotted through my living room, nothing of any real significance was discovered as I had hoped it would. Apparently some things are nothing more then a myth.Rating
Enjoyed the taste and effect very much. Very smooth with beautiful aroma before louching with wonderful new bursts during and after. Crisp and clean with wonderful full mouth feel.
Highly recommended and will be restocking soon! (Posted on 12/15/2022)- Best of the best Review by Whistler
So, absinthe you maybe a connoisseur of other fine alcohol or a dedicated absinthe drinkerRating
Myself I drink single malt whiskey from Speyside, Remy Martin Cognac and this .
I've tried other absinthe but this is the winner I drink it chilled & neat, no sugar - no water
Its taste is creamy with sweet honey tones - try it if your unsure of which absinthe to purchase - you will not be disappointed. (Posted on 9/29/2022)
