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.

Lemony Snicket; a fan of La Fée Absinthe?

The Tragic Treasury: Songs from A Series of Unfortunate Events, is the CD companion to the best-selling books by prolific but publicity-shy author Lemony Snicket. The CD is 'executed' by The Gothic Archies; singer-songwriter Stephin Merritt, with a little musical help from Mr. Snicket himself on accordion.

Defined by Merritt as his 'goth-bubblegum band,' The Gothic Archies are an artfully gloomy invention that anticipated the Snicket-ian sensibility with such song titles as It's Useless To Struggle and The Abandoned Castle of My Soul.
