La Fée was featured in the February issue of The Chap magazine, where our X•S Suisse recieved yet another shining review. Here is what they had to say:

La Fée XS Suisse
This bottling is the flagship of La Fée's range, arguably the most popular brand since absinthe was reintroduced in 2000.
Colour: Clear, with a very faint violet hue. Louches quickly.
Nose: Dry, with vermouth-like notes and light fruit and cereal notes. With water, a peppery spiciness emerges.
Palate: A creamy note is first to emerge, followed by a chalky dryness, then the anise flavour. Not as predominantly aromatic as the other absinthes, but pleasant and easy to drink.
Overall: Another very differently styled absinthe, which demonstrates just how versatile this excellent spirit can be.

In 1998 George Rowley (owner of La Fée) secured the UK government’s authorization on the landmark document allowing absinthe to be legally sold in the European Union thus sparking a world wide modern revival. He then worked closely with Marie-Claude Delahaye, world-expert and absinthe historian, and together they recreated, for the first time since the bans of 1915, the first traditional absinthe to be distilled in France. La Fée Absinthe Parisienne is now enjoyed in over 20 countries world wide. La Fée distil the finest absinthes in the world in terms of provenance, authenticity and quality for both the traditional and modern palate.
