Absinthe Set La Bleue Skull

This Absinthe set contains a bottle of Suisse La Bleue Absinthe, two Skull Absinthe glasses, two stainless steel Absinthe spoons and a bag of Absinthe sugar cubes. The skull glasses of the set take reference to the clandestine history of the included La Bleue Absinthe: In Switzerland Absinthe prohibition took place in the year 1910. The label of the bottle shows the Absinthe prohibition poster of that time. 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 a sarcastic reaction to Swiss Absinthe prohibition. The message was, "blame it all on the Green Fairy"! Absinthe was the scapegoat for all evil. But the Swiss kept on loving Absinthe, also during the ban. Although Absinthe production was prohibited from 1910 on you could always find clandestine Absinthes throughout the country. Not in green but in clear color, to camouflage the real content of the bottle...

Absinthe Suisse La Bleue tasting notes:

Absinthe Suisse La Bleue is a must try Absinthe for every true Absintheur. We can almost guarantee, that you will love it as much as we do. The name La Bleue refers to the slightly blueish-white color when you add water to the spirit. Other than that, this Absinthe is pure and fresh as a mountain creek. 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.
