Behind the Bottle

Expression

A blanche absinthe from the Val-de-Travers that combines intensity and clarity, where structure never overshadows aromatic expression.

Heritage

In Fleurier, Alain Rey distills according to an artisanal tradition faithful to family recipes from the 1960s, passed down by his father-in-law and refined through his own craftsmanship. The copper stills — some forged by his own hands — reflect a deep commitment to historical practice and respect for the terroir.

Character

Anise-forward and vegetal, with a firm bitter backbone and layered herbal complexity that unfolds progressively on the palate. Powerful and direct on the attack, evolving into a long, dry finish marked by herbal depth, tension, and persistence.

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

Best enjoyed as an aperitif, where its aromatic expression can unfold fully before a meal. Served on its own, it offers a poised and elegant introduction to the tasting experience.

Interpretation

An artisanal and sincere interpretation of blanche absinthe, embodied by a distiller attentive to tradition and precision of craft. This expression navigates between heritage and presence, for those who wish to experience absinthe in its balanced and confident form.
