The Artisan

Absinthe de l'Herboriste

In Fleurier, droguist-herborists Pierre-André and Cosette Virgilio distill an absinthe drawn from a recipe passed down through three generations. Heir to a family practice, a discreet figure of the clandestine period, and master to a new generation of distillers, Virgilio embodies a rare continuity rooted in plants, practice, and the transmission of craft.
