La Clandestine Verte 68%

La Clandestine Verte 68% is distilled in Couvet by Claude-Alain Bugnon at Artemisia Distillerie, in the historic heart of the Val-de-Travers. Crafted according to traditional Swiss methods and colored naturally through botanical maceration, it represents the structured verte expression of the house. At 68% ABV, this absinthe reveals a firm and layered aromatic architecture. Anise forms a clear foundation, enriched by deep herbal tones and the vegetal complexity characteristic of verte absinthe. Its higher strength supports the structure without overwhelming balance, preserving clarity and definition. Prepared with cold water according to the traditional ritual, it develops a dense and progressive louche, unveiling both depth and precision. Anchored in the terroir of its origin and guided by one of the region’s most established distillers, la Clandestine Verte embodies the continuity of Val-de-Travers craftsmanship in its more structured form.
