La Fée offers two very distinct absinthes.
La Fée Parisian Absinthe is founded on
an authentic French recipe from the 1800s - a drink that "captures
the aroma and taste that great writers and artists such as Verlaine, Rimbaud,
Toulouse-Lautrec and Vincent van Gogh enjoyed back at the turn of the 19th
Century" (Mme. Delahaye, Musée
de l'Absinthe). La Fée Bohemian Absinth is based on a traditional Bohemian drink from the 1920s, and contains less aniseed than the French absinthe. This makes it ideal for shots, coktails and drink mixing.
