Absinthe was born in the small village of Couvet in the Val-de-Travers in western Switzerland in the 1750s. Many books, more or less historical, have been written and some legends have arisen as a result of research that has not always been completed or documented. Several people have been named as the inventors of this mythical drink: the Henriod sisters, Major Dubied, Mother Henriod, Henri-Louis Pernod and the fake Doctor Ordinaire, to name but a few. The only certainty we can now draw from the archives is that the inventors of absinthe were women, the best known of whom was Marguerite Henriette Henriod, born in 1734 in Couvet. Major Daniel Henri Dubied-Duval, born in 1758, was the first absinthe producer who could be considered "industrial". A few decades later, the Pernod family settled in Couvet (1797). Abraham Louis Pernod was probably involved in absinthe production with Major Dubied.
Product Detail
The Artemisia distillery was the first to put a green absinthe tinted with natural plants back on the Swiss market. More powerful in plants and less aniseed than white absinthes, it reveals a powerful grand absinthe, accompanied by a multitude of aromas that testify to the richness of the plants used.
