Vieux Pontarlier (pronounced 'View Pon-tarr-lee-ay') Absinthe Française Supérieure is carefully crafted in small batches using alambic stills that were specifically designed to make absinthe. This historic spirit is distilled using locally grown wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), which is considered the finest in the world, along with green anise seed, Provençal fennel seed and a variety of additional aromatic herbs and spices. Faithful to the original formulations, there is no sweetening added of any kind - its refreshing taste is obtained entirely from the combination of plants and the distiller's skills.
The UK edition is exactly the same absinthe and protocol as the US and European releases, but presently has no back label.
Fine, medium peridot green color. Gradually forming louche, milky with opalescent reflections. Aroma initially of bright anise, developing heady, alpine herbs, with savory, mentholated wormwood notes. Intitial taste is intense and spicily piquant, with round, herbal flavors cradling the wormwood and a long, refreshing, cooling finish of anise and fennel seed.

Absinthe Doubs Mystique
50cl 65% abv (130 proof)
Winner of Gold Medal and Best in Class at the 2008 International Wine and Spirits Competition
Doubs Mystique "Carte d'or" is a superb ultra-premium absinthe distilled in century old alambics in Pontarlier, in the heart of the Doubs region of eastern France, the historical home of absinthe.
It's a modern absinthe, to please the modern palate, although one that pays homage to the recipes and methods of the past. No other modern absinthe has as extensive a herb bill - the secret of Mystique's richness, smoothness and remarkable complexity of aroma and flavour.
All the herbs - including of course the grande absinthe - that could be sourced from the Pontarlier region were sourced locally. Enormous effort was expended on herb selection, and preparation. The youngest distillations in the final blend are at least 6 months old, the oldest more than a year old, and this balance will be maintained in future production.

Absinthe Roquette - 1797
70cl 75% abv (150 proof)
The Roquette 1797 is a complex, unusual and spicy absinthe, based directly on a late 18th century manuscript recipe. It represents the first serious attempt in the modern era to recreate an absinthe from the very birth of La Fee Verte, when the drink straddled the line between liquor and potion, when it was as much magical and mysterious elixir as fashionable aperitif.
The 1797 contains the classic trinity of anise, fennel and grande wormwood, together with several other herbs, some of which will be found in no other commercially available absinthe. The absinthe is batch distilled in Pontarlier in an antique alambic, and is available in only very limited quantities.
The oldest distillations in the final Roquette bottling are nearly 18 months old, the youngest around 6 months, and this degree of maturation will be preserved in on going production.

Un Emile 68 absinthe
70 cl 68% abv (136 proof)
Un Emile 68 Verte is a premium absinthe traditionally made to a 19th century recipe by steeping Grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), green anise and other plants in alcohol and distilling the macerated charge in an absinthe still. The colour is achieved naturally by soaking plants in the distillate. No star anise is used, which was typical of the traditional Pontarlier absinthe recipes. To best appreciate the complex flavours and louche, it must be properly served by slowly dripping cold water into it, as should all the absinthes from the Emile Pernot distillery.

Un Emile 68 La Blanche absinthe
70 cl 68% abv (136 proof)
This is a clear absinthe made in the style of classic uncolored absinthes of the 19th century. It is surprisingly similar to modern Swiss 'La Bleue', a highly sought-after type of absinthe once only produced in clandestine stills found in the Neuchatel region of Switzerland. Un Emile 68 'La Blanche' will truly impress La Bleue aficionados. Using the traditional Un Emile distillate as a base, there is no colouring step and the classic wormwood and green anise flavours are enhanced.

Un Emile 68 Sapin absinthe
70 cl 68% abv (136 proof)
Un Emile 68 Sapin has a unique flavour derived from the inclusion of
pine
(sapin) buds in a 20+ plant distillate which has been blended with the traditional Un Emile absinthe. Absolutely unique, it will please any lover of the atmosphere of the Great White North!
Serving suggestion: In a blender, add 1 1/2 ounces Un Emile Sapin and 1 1/2 ounces of orgeat (almond) syrup to a handful of ice, mix until smooth and grate a dash of nutmeg on top for an exciting egg-nog alternative!

White Fairy absinthe
70cl 60%abv (120 proof)
White Fairy is an absinthe blanche developed by Liqueurs de France and produced by the Emile Pernot distillery. This absinthe is released at 60% alcohol, which, we discovered, allows its delicate aromas to be less hindered by a high alcohol punch. As such, it also comes closer than our well-received Un Emile La Blanche 68 to the style and alcohol content found in Swiss 'La Bleue', which is typically between 50 - 60 %, but White Fairy uses no star anise, thus minimizing the 'licorice-like' taste.
We have found it to be the most 'cocktail friendly' absinthe we know of: White Fairy can be used as an interesting substitution in many your favourite recipes, especially mint juleps and mojitos!
