La Fée XS Française Absinthe is an extra supérieure absinthe distilled in the historical town of Pontarlier, the French homeland of absinthe. Production in the region began in the early nineteenth century and it is here that our XS Française distiller's great grandfather produced absinthe prior to its ban in 1915. For X*S Française those same stills, purchased second hand in 1870 are used along with traditional distillation methods, a fine selection of herbs and a wine alcohol base resulting in a truly authentic absinthe.
The finest ingredients, including grand anise, wormwood and wine alcohol are soaked producing an intense exotic aroma.
A secret recipe of herbs, as used by the distiller's great grandfather, is then added to create colour.
