About Absinthe Verte
Absinthe verte is the most iconic expression of absinthe, recognized by its natural green colour and layered aromatic profile. This colour is obtained through a secondary maceration of herbs after distillation, a traditional process that enriches the spirit with additional botanical complexity.
Deeply rooted in the heritage of the Val-de-Travers, absinthe verte reflects the historic craftsmanship that made Swiss absinthe renowned worldwide. Each bottle expresses a balance between wormwood, anise and fennel, enhanced by a wider palette of alpine herbs.
What defines verte absinthe?
Compared to blanche absinthe, verte offers a more complex and evolving tasting experience. The additional herbs used for coloration contribute vegetal, floral and sometimes slightly spicy notes, creating a richer and more textured profile.
This style is often preferred by enthusiasts seeking depth and structure, as well as those interested in exploring the full aromatic spectrum of traditional absinthe.
