Launched in 2000, La Fée was the first traditional absinthe to be commercially produced in France since the 1914-15 ban. This improved 'Supérieure' version (released July 2013) is made using natural ingredients so comes in a green painted bottle to protect the delicate contents from UV light damage

The natty and award-winning 20cl bottle has a built-in pourer that automatically pop-up as the cap is unscrewed, then sinks back into the bottle when the cap is replaced. The label peels off to reveal an information booklet with cocktail recipes.
