Directly after Absinthe became legal again in Switzerland, La Valote Ltd asked for a license to start professional Absinthe production.

Three former clandestine producers do now, what they did for years – only one thing has changed – they do it legally.

The combination of know-how and the desire to create something excellent unites these three men. They are using small stills from 25 litres up to 90 litres.

Each one of them has his own, secret receipt, so each one of them is pretty different, but represents what others formerly described as the “holy grail” of Absinthe.

It is most likely that the company stays as small as it is at the moment, because the mentality is rather to stay small and create excellent Absinthe than rather to grow and sell out.
