Kübler Absinthe is a traditional Swiss absinthe from the Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe, bottled at 53% ABV. This is the 1-litre bottle.
Absinthe Kübler was first distilled in the Val-de-Travers in 1863. Yves Kübler, the great-grandson of the founder, was the first distiller officially allowed to distil absinthe in Switzerland in 2001, though at the time his product had to be called an extrait d'absinthe. From 1 March 2005 absinthe became legal again in Switzerland, allowing Kübler to produce this 53% version under the name absinthe.
The formula builds on the earlier 57% extrait but has been refined, with no tails or off-notes, just smoothness, a very nice herbal aroma and a very long taste. Kübler uses wormwood and other herbs grown in the Val-de-Travers to keep it historically accurate.
A true natural product with no colouring and no added sugar, it is a classic gift for absinthe lovers.
Serve it the traditional way, slowly diluted with ice-cold water.
Absinthe is a high-strength spirit distilled with wormwood, anise and fennel, traditionally diluted with cold water before drinking.
When cold water is added, the essential oils cloud the spirit into a milky louche, releasing its aromas.
The Val-de-Travers in western Switzerland is widely regarded as the birthplace of absinthe in the late eighteenth century.
