About this bottle
La Fée Absinthe Supérieure is a green absinthe built on the classic trio of wormwood, green anise and fennel, bottled at a full 68% ABV. Wormwood brings the herbal bitterness, anise and fennel the licorice sweetness, and at this strength the essential oils stay locked in the spirit until water goes in. Neat, the nose is powerful and herbal, with soft anise, fennel and a spicy coriander note. Diluted, it louches to a milky, opalescent green-yellow and the aroma opens wide, settling into sweet anise, gentle bitterness and a clean, cooling finish. For the drinker who wants to do the ritual properly, slotted spoon and all.
How to drink La Fée Absinthe Supérieure
The traditional drip is the right call: one part absinthe to three to five parts ice-cold water, added slowly, with a sugar cube on a slotted spoon if you like it softer. A rinse of it makes a proper Sazerac, and topped with Champagne it becomes a Death in the Afternoon.

Questions about this bottle
How do you prepare La Fée Absinthe Supérieure?
Pour about an ounce into a glass and slowly add three to five parts ice-cold water, traditionally dripped over a sugar cube resting on a slotted absinthe spoon. Absinthe at this strength is made to be diluted rather than drunk straight.
Why does absinthe turn cloudy when water is added?
That cloudiness is called the louche. The anise and fennel oils dissolve in high-proof alcohol but come out of solution as water lowers the strength, turning the spirit milky and releasing more aroma.
What cocktails use absinthe?
A small rinse defines the Sazerac and the Corpse Reviver No. 2, and a measure topped with Champagne makes Hemingway's Death in the Afternoon.
How strong is La Fée Absinthe Supérieure?
It is bottled at 68% ABV, which is 136 proof.
