And all that \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“practice”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; positioned him perfectly so that when the ban was lifted, he was the first to request a license and started bottling product before the ink on his business permit had even dried. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Claude\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; loves \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Absinth\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; and knows that there are more varieties of the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“green monster” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;than there ever were. His small mountain distillery — \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;located in in the birthplace of Absinthe \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;— now produces no less than six varieties of premium Absinthe, including a blanche\/bleue, a vert, and an opaline. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;You will be forgiven for thinking of the color green when you hear the word Absinthe. Most Absinthes are, indeed, bright green, since the chlorophyl from the \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;wormwood\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; leaves steeps into the alcohol like tea. But a lot of the finest Absinthes are clear. Folks \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“n the know” \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;call them either \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;“blanche” or “bleue”\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; Absinthes. \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;La Clandestine Absinthe\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; is one of those premium Absinthes, so don’t be surprised when you pour a silvery clear Liqueur from the bright blue bottle. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;Something else to note… there is a traditional “ceremony” of Absinthe drinking that involves a special spoon, a sugar cube, and matches that can feel uncomfortably like a laboratory scene from \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Breaking Bad.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; Forget all that. You do not have to be \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Mr. Wizard\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; or \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Walter White \u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;to make this fine Spirit worth drinking. The sweetness you need is already inside \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;La Clandestine Absinthe,\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; so just pour, sip and experience what premium \u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Swiss Absinthe\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt; was always meant to be. \u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;p\u0026gt;\u0026lt;u\u0026gt;Smartass Corner: \u0026lt;\/u\u0026gt;\u0026lt;em\u0026gt;Many Absinthes demonstrate the “Louche Effect.” Sometimes called the “ouzo effect,” it is common in quality anise-flavored liquors. If cold water is added to a clear liquor containing anise, the liquid will immediately turn milky-white in the glass as the hydrophobic essential oils emulsify.\u0026lt;\/em\u0026gt;\u0026lt;\/p\u0026gt;","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45130194583734,"sku":"15218","price":19.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0727\/1251\/9862\/files\/laclandestineabsinthe-700ml_15218_01_7d79fd7c_10346d4a-d2e5-43fd-b316-882f6513f524.jpg?v=1779037139","url":"https:\/\/noblebottle.com\/products\/laclandestineabsinthe-700ml-15218","provider":"noblebottle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
