Angelique is one of the first vertes to come from Switzerland since the ban on absinthe was lifted in 2005. Named after the daughter of its distiller, Claude-Alain Bugnon, it was launched in 2007 & subsequently won the Golden Spoon at the 2009 French Absinthiades, sometimes known as the Absinthe Oscars. The terroir is very important for Claude-Alain: most of the plants used in Angelique grow locally in meadows in the foothills of the Alps. With a recipe made up of 12 plants, Angelique may be considered to be the natural daughter of La Clandestine absinthe: like many daughters, she can be both angelic & a little devilish! Angelique was created in response to consumer requests for a stronger absinthe with a reduced anise taste. The colour, which is completely natural, comes from the maceration of wormwood in aromatic plants. After filtration, the macerate is added to the distilled absinthe & the resultant blend is stored in wooden barrels to give it a light woody, more rounded taste. In Eastern Switzerl&, some like to drink Angelique with just a little water, almost like a schnapps. Angelique is very interesting & very surprising! Enjoy it with 4/5 parts of chilled water (dripped over a sugar lump if needed) or in many classic cocktails. Like all Swiss absinthe, Angelique is distilled (absinthes from other countries may just be cold mixed), contains no artificial colours & has no added sugar. ...
