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.

Italian Visit
Monday, 17 November 2008

On Sunday 9th November La Fée’s Absinthe bus made its 2nd trip in consecutive weeks into the heart of London.

This time its passengers were bar owners and mixologists from across the whole of Italy. Our first stop was Harvey Nichols 5th Floor Bar where George Rowley’s guests each enjoyed a La Fée Parisienne aperitif.

The evening’s second stop off came at the invitation of Simon Difford and his private Cabinet Bar where the owner and author of diffordsguide served up classic Sazerac’s using, of course, La Fée Parisienne.

It was then off to The Gore Hotel in Kensington for an evening meal, and La Fée Parisienne Sours.

All in all our Italian guests thoroughly enjoyed their tour of London and we left them to party on into the night at Soho’s Lab Bar just around midnight.
