Absinthe La Valote Martin L’Originale 72% is a powerful blanche absinthe from the Val-de-Travers. At 72% ABV, it combines anise with firm herbal bitterness in a structured and intense profile. A characterful expression ideal for discovering a traditional high-proof style.

At a higher strength, it develops a smooth, enveloping roundness and remarkable aromatic intensity — a deeper and more structured expression of the house style.

Ritual

Slowly diluted with iced water to allow the louche to form naturally. Best served without sugar to preserve the balance and vegetal character. Intended for focused, unhurried tasting. Suitable for experienced drinkers and classic absinthe service.

Gourmet Pairings

Pairs elegantly with roasted almonds, salted nuts, and refined savory nibbles. The contrast between subtle salinity and herbal complexity enhances aromatic freshness while balancing the palate, making it an ideal companion for aperitif moments.

Interpretation

L’Originale stands as a controlled embodiment of Val-de-Travers tradition — a balanced presence crafted in respect of artisanal gesture, designed for those who value the authenticity of the ritual.
