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.

Clear pale green, louches when water is added.

Long, well rounded finish.
Overall:
This 'Supérieure' version launched in 2013 is more delicate and complex with far more subtle aniseed and rooty notes than the original La Fée Parisienne.
