La Fee absinthes were the first absinthes legally made with the traditional grand wormwood since the 1915 ban was lifted and is the only absinthe authenticated by Marie-Claude Delahaye, founder and curator of the absinthe museum. Before diluting it is clear, showing a striking green color and has an attractive fresh anise aroma. When water is added its louche has great consistency turning a milky lime green. There are hints of fennel and apple fruit characters with a round textural mouth feel that is both smooth and refreshing. In 1999 two of the most influential pioneers in the field of absinthe; Englishman George Rowley & Frenchwoman Marie Claude Delahaye joined their expertise and employed a Parisian distiller. La Fee Parisienne absinthe is the traditional, classic French recipe. It should be served neat in a clear glass with icy cold water slowly dripped or poured into the liquid, releasing hazy, clouds and diluting the overall drink to something drinkable.
