The ban on absinthe was lifted in the United States in 2007 after 92 years.

In spite of the ban, Kübler has been in continuous distillation by the same family since its origin in 1863.

Legend has it the first true Absinthe recipe was created by Dr. Pierre Ordinaire in 1792 in rural France. Dr. Pierre Ordinaire, shortly after the French revolution, traveled around the Val de Travers on his faithful horse Rocket and sold his Absinthe initially as an all-purpose cure-all, an “elixir.” Dr. Ordinaire’s talents for apothecary and medicine yielded an elixir that may have been designed as a medicinal invention, but over time it became widely accepted as a recreational drink. People loved the taste and the effect, some even claimed to be cured of all their ailments. When Dr. Ordinaire died, the recipe ended up mysteriously in the hands of the sisters Henriod at the beginning of the 19th century. The sisters carried on producing this elixir, mostly from their home, but the pleasant aroma, taste and experience continued building the popularity of this historical drink. By the middle of the 18th century, the French troops fighting in Algeria returned to France bringing with them a taste for this anise flavored “elixir,” mostly due to a similar anisette elixir that was being administered to the troops as a fever preventative. It was at this time that Dr Ordinaire’s Absinthe was sold by the sisters and then mass produced for an affordable price. The onset of mass production caused the price of absinthe to drop significantly and the market expanded. Since the cafés were an extremely popular place to socialize, it became common practice for a wide array of people to enjoy Absinthe Ordinaire during L'Heure Verte, or the Green Hour because of Absinthe Ordinaire’s great taste and affordable price. This exciting drink now began rapidly traveling across the café tables from the south of France to the café tables of Montmartre in Paris, where his now legendary and mystical Absinthe would end up gracing the lips of artists, musicians, writers and poets alike, ultimately becoming the symbol of the free and easy bohemian spirit for the masses. We wonder if Dr. Ordinaire had any idea his “elixir” could have turned into something so magnificent. Absinthe Ordinaire recalls one of the original and most commercially successful Absinthe recipes during the glittering era of La Belle Époque Paris. Absinthe Ordinaire is handcrafted in rural southern France using only the highest quality distillation methods and ingredients.

La Clandestine Absinthe Supérieure is hand-crafted in Couvet, Switzerland - the birthplace of absinthe - to a moonshiner’s 1935 recipe. It is a blanche, or clear, absinthe – a style that is likely that of the very first absinthes of the 18th century. La Clandestine is admired worldwide and widely regarded as the finest absinthe produced in Switzerland and the best blanche globally. This all-natural spirit has a remarkably smooth, fresh, aromatic flavor profile. Its delicate bouquet of flowers and herbs is masterfully balanced. A true product of its terroir, La Clandestine is crafted from famed, locally grown plants including: grande wormwood, petite wormwood, hyssop, melissa and peppermint, and from the finest imported anise and fennel. Every step of La Clandestine’s production is hand-crafted on a scale not too dissimilar from late 18th century production or that in the ban era: from harvesting and drying locally grown plants, selecting and measuring ingredients, through to bottling, labeling, corking and capsule. La Clandestine Absinthe is distilled by Claude-Alain Bugnon, probably Europe’s most celebrated absinthe distiller. Claude-Alain is assisted at the distillery by his wife Karine.

Our Absinthe Verte is produced following the traditions of 19th Century European master distillers. That means we start with a grape distilliate base (in our case, this means imported Chilean Pisco) and add the required ingredients to constitute absinthe: anise seed, fennel, and grande wormwood. Other botanicals are also added to our small batch copper pot still. Following distillation of this blend, we naturally color the result by steeping the distillate in coloring herbs such as lemon balm and hyssop. The result is a brilliantly emerald green spirit that is the perfect touch for classic cocktails such as The Sazerac.
