La Fée X•S Suisse takes third consecutive Golden Spoon at the 2009 Absinthiades

 

La Fée X•S Suisse became a triple Golden Spoon winner at the 2009 Absinthiades.  The Absinthiades is one of the most famous and highly regarded organisations in the absinthe world, and has this October awarded it's highest honour - the Golden Spoon, for the third consecutive year to La Fée Absinthe X.S Suisse in the Blanche category.  Such is our dominance of this event we are now banned from entering La Fée X.S Suisse for 2010.


La Fée X•S Suisse is one half of our Ultra Premium range - it is a wine based ‘Amer’ distilled in the birthplace of absinthe: Couvet, Val-de-Travers, Switzerland.  Our extra supérieure Swiss absinthe is a clear ‘La Bleue’  style; it has a refined texture with delicate anise and herb flavours that linger elegantly on the palate. 

The gold award will be presented in the Town Hall of Pontarlier, in the French Alps on the 20th November 2009.  Local dignitaries include Patrick Genre, the Mayor of Pontarlier, who together with distillers and absintheurs will gather to celebrate this important re-emerging drinks category.

La Fée goes crazy at Mad46...

On Friday the 19th September 2008 La Fée was invited to participate in an event at Mad46 - the rooftop bar at the Roosevelt Hotel on Madison Avenue, 46th St - introducing guests to the green fairy whist watching the sun set over the Manhattan skyline.

Oscar serves the drinks

Mad46 is accessed through the back door to the Roosevelt Hotel. A series of security guards as well as a service lift gives you an initial impression of a top secret underground bunker before opening out onto a wonderful open rooftop bar. On Friday, La Fée infiltrated this secret bunker to bring guests a taste of the green fairy.

Dan and Oscar were on hand with the La Fée fountain offering guests a chance to try the traditional serve as well as some more contemporary cocktails including Domain de Canton ginger liqueur, La Fée and lime juice shaken over ice.

The event was a fantastic success with some great feedback from customers and staff who started to see a slightly green hue appearing over the evening as the sun set and the absinthe flowed.
