La Valote Martin
The secret of absinthe La Valote Martin, which is handcrafted in Boveresse, Val-de-Travers (Switzerland), lies in the love for the product , to its history and to its region. The "Bleue" owes its pleasant bitter taste to ten different herbs (including wormwood and Pontic wormwood, lemon balm, hyssop and peppermint), most of which are grown in the region where the "Green Fairy" provided an economic boom. This was in 1760.
The various stages of absinthe production, from the cultivation of the herbs, their processing to the distillation, contributed to the economic boom of the region at. In 1910, a ban on absinthe, which had been decided two years earlier by a popular initiative, put a drastic end to production. Absinthe was banned from illegality.
A myth was born, which was caused by the existence of numerous moonshiners throughout the 20th century . Francis Martin was one of them. Following the legalization of absinthe on March 1st, 2005, he decided to distil absinthe legally, passing on his passion for the “Green Fairy” and guaranteeing that the distillation takes place where it originates. The original recipe has remained unchanged to this day. Absinthe still enjoys the same popularity among its customers. The older generation particularly appreciates that its taste reminds them of the absinthe of their youth. In 2014 his son Philippe has taken over the distillery and continues the family tradition.
