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.

The Sazerac is now Louisiana's official cocktail.

Yesterday the Sazerac was designated the state's official cocktail by a the House Judiciary Committee who voted 8-3 for Senate Bill 6 by Sen. Edwin Murray, making the drink the state's official cocktail after it bogged down for weeks in the Senate.

Rep. Cedric Richmond, New Orleans, who handled the bill for Murray, said the drink has been around since the 19th century pharmacist Antoine Amedee Peychaud concocted the drink based on the bitters he made. "This is one of those things Louisiana is known for."
