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.
