	This is a Swiss absinthe whose herbs are sourced from Val de Travers - considered the ancestral home of absinthe. Distilled in Couvet, Switzerland. Swiss style absinthe is usually clear, as this was a way to fool customs (or whoever) into thinking it was vodka or gin - anything but Absinthe.       First Impression: Intensely anise (licorice smell), lemon balm, verbena and a host of others making for a heady bouquet. Even with the authentic (read high) proof the alcohol is quite mellow and subdued by all the herbal ingredients.              Taste: At full strength it is quite drinkable - unlike some absinthes. The taste is nicely anise flavored with other herbs playing nicely in the background. A somehow subtle but notable wormwood bitterness with hints of mint and a large (but not overdone) contribution from the lemon balm, fennel, and anise make for a very pleasant finish.
