La Clandestine Absinthe
@absinthes.bsky.social
Hand-crafted in the birthplace of absinthe since 1935
We found a photo of a 1780 copper engraving showing the beautiful area where Swiss absinthe was born. At that time, the women were making absinthe at home as a medicinal cure-all, but it looks like the men in our video already enjoyed absinthe!

Do you ever wonder what the Paris Green Hour was like? This video is based on Michelet's L'Heure de l'Absinthe which you can see at the Musée Carnavale in Paris.

The famous "Absinthe Berthelot" poster was created by Thiriet in 1898. Like other posters of the time, it tells a moral story: in this case a boy steals absinthe from a man ogling a local woman. Turning the poster into a short film makes the plot clearer ..

The Val-de-Travers region of Switzerland is famous as the birthplace of absinthe. It is also famous as the home of the wonderful ibex. Luckily the ibex has not yet started drinking our absinthe.

Happy 194th birthday, Lewis Carroll. Famous for Alice in Wonderland. She drank from a brightly coloured bottle labelled Drink Me. Not a good idea! Don’t be seduced by brightly coloured bottles with brightly coloured “absinthe.” Drink me instead!

152 years ago, the Absinthe Frappé was born at @oldabsinthehouse in NOLA. Video created based on a 1903 photo, a year before the Absinthe Frappé hit song. Photos of me in an Absinthe Frappé at @curenola and the ultimate Absinthe Frappé book by Marielle.

For some reason many people are talking about Greenland now. This reminded us there is another Green Land. Switzerland: where the Green Fairy was born. A beautiful, lush land, loved by walkers for its beautiful hills & valleys, rivers & mountains. Friendly visitors welcomed!

So many different #Absinthe glasses. Some prefer a glass showing the correct measure. Interesting to see 19th century absinthe posters with champagne flutes: Jax from Florida thinks these make the best absinthe he's ever tasted! What do you think?

Here’s a picture that Denise Prisi supplied us a few years ago. A great picture of locals enjoying a glass or two of fine absinthe. Now a short film.

Like many preban paintings showing absinthe, Jean Béraud's Absinthe Drinkers shows gloomy drinkers in a gloomy setting. We believe they might have been happier with a fine absinthe, as shown here.

“Le Chat Noir” was a famous Parisian venue in the 19th century, and there are many historic posters linking #absinthe with the black cat. This postcard and others are more modern but have a good sense of fun. Which we’ve amplified here!

#BlueSkyThinking We’ve been thinking about absinthe fountains. Why aren’t they bigger? Note that some bars have already used them for absinthe cocktails. So why can’t they be used to pour “louched” absinthe? The lady here seems to agree with us!

Harper's Monthly of April 1889 featured a black & white drawing of the #Absinthe Professors who sit at marble tables, drink absinthe & are invariably “decorated.”As part of our #ArtOfAbsinthe programme, we added colour, motion and fine absinthe. Harper's is now Harpers magazine.

Possibly the only surviving video of a pre-ban Swiss absinthe distillery? This is the Edouard Pernod distillery in Couvet c.1894.

#ToulouseLautrec painted “Monsieur Boileau at the Café” in 1893. Boileau was a gossip columnist who drank a lot of #absinthe. We demonstrate here his love of gossip & absinthe. If he had had access to better absinthe, he might have savoured it more and drank less heavily.

Filmed at the Louvre last week. Good to see the Louvre had better security for my bottle. Maybe the film will help the police catch all the men who stole the jewels … #absinthe #AbsintheInspired

These 3 were seen enjoying clandestine #absinthe in Switzerland c. 1950. Soon after I was born: it could have been me! We imagined the scene in more detail. They may have had to hide the illegal bottles. We then added a bit of colour so you can see bottles of my blanche and green absinthes. Santé!

Great to see the #absinthe selection at Les Caves du Roy in Paris. La Clandestine (Blanche, Intense and Verte) as well as Butterfly. Great photos by Darian who also bought the last bottle of our La Crème! Santé!

We love rattlesnakes!
The only difference between La Capricieuse and La Clandestine Blanche Intense is a small reduction in the alcohol content (72% to 69%). This allows us - and our customers - to ship it more easily. It's already helped us get this higher strength blanche back into Japan. Santé!
