La Fée Parisienne

The Taste of True French Absinthe

The brand original, La Fée Absinthe Parisienne, is a traditional French absinthe distilled at the Cherry Rocher distillery using Grand Wormwood (Artemisia absinthium) and other fine herbs. La Fée Parisienne was the first traditional absinthe distilled in France since the 1915 ban and is the only absinthe endorsed by the Musée de l’Absinthe, Auvers-sur-Oise, France. Each distillation is personally approved by world-renowned absinthe expert, Marie-Claude Delahaye. Parisienne is distilled at the traditional 68% abv following an authentic 19th century recipe and louches perfectly when water is added.

La Fée captures the aroma and taste that great writers and artists such as Rimbaud, Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh enjoyed at the end of the 19th century. — Marie-Claude Delahaye

Sophisticated Decadence

By the 1890s The Moulin Rouge was in full swing and absinthe had out grown its cult status and became the must have drink in the cafés and salons of Paris.

Tasting Note 

La Fée Absinthe Parisienne is made following an authentic 19th century recipe. Before diluting it is a clear, deep lime green colour and displays an attractive, fresh herbal aroma.

Upon adding iced water its louche has great consistency turning a smoky and milky lime green. On the palate it is softly textured and refreshing with discreet spicy flavours and a flavourful mid-palate of anise. Rich and powerful, La Fée Parisienne is a harmonious absinthe full of personality.
