La Clandestine Absinthe
La Clandestine Absinthe
La Clandestine Absinthe is based on a 1935 recipe by Swiss distiller
Charlotte Vaucher which Bugnon had been circulating unofficially for several
years prior to the Swiss lifting a near one-hundred-year ban on absinthe March
1, 2005. Following the lift, Claude Alain Bugnon applied for an official license
and became one of the first distillers in the Val-de-Travers region in
Switzerland to be granted one. La Clandestine Absinthe is widely regarded as the
finest absinthe produced in Switzerland and the best blanche and is crafted from
famed locally grown plants including grande wormwood, petite wormwood, hyssop,
melissa and peppermint, and from the finest imported anise, star anise and
fennel. La Clandestine Absinthe reveals a very complex aromatic palate and a
subtly bitter finish. Without doubt, this is one of the best La Bleue absinthes
around. Distillery : Artemisia-Bugnon

Absinthe is produced much like gin. It’s a high-proof
neutral spirit generally 110 to 144 proof and is infused with a blend of
botanicals. It can be many botanicals but the three main herbs used in
production of absinthe are Grande Wormwood, Green Anise and Sweet Fennel.
Artemisia-Bugnon Distillery:
La Clandestine Absinthe has been and is still considered by many to be the
best Swiss La Bleue available today. Claude Alain Bugnon custom designed
distilling apparatus is located at his premises in Couvet, a former butcher
shop! Back in the days many Absinthe distilleries were located in the valley
Val-de-Travers. It was as well said, that even during the Absinthe ban, some
locals produced bootleg Absinthe at their homes. The alambics each have a
capacity of 145 litres, and produce 95 litres of finished absinthe.
