December 2007 The Green Fairy arrives in IndiaLDF is pleased to announce that the Green Fairy has finally arrived in India. LDF commissioned a premium distilled absinthe specially for the Indian market. This absinthe was produced at the Emile Pernot distillery in Pontarlier, France and was formulated to appeal to the Indian palate. Since a mixture of coriander seeds and aniseed is often chewed as a palate freshner between courses in India, the flavours in absinthe are pleasingly familiar in the sub-continent. Green Fairy will initially be available at restaurants, clubs and bars in Goa. |
