A strong taste and a complex aromatic palette characterise Opaline. An absinthe full of harmony.It is a true Swiss “Verte” made from 12 different plants including the angelica and the grand wormwood of the Val-de-Travers. Its colour is obtained by the addition of a maceration of different aromatic plants, no artificial colouring is added.
Opaline absinthe can also be qualified as the rebel and diabolic sister of the Clandestine. Indeed, it is stronger and more bitter, but is nevertheless as characteristic as the Swiss absinthes.
In our opinion one of the best absinthes today !
Palate : Strong, complex and well-balanced. It suggests notes of anise, fennel and grand wormwood that balance very well with other herbaceous flavours.
Finish : Very good length. Savoury bitterness (more marked than most of the more “classic” Swiss absinthes.)
- Claude-Alain Bugnon is the first Swiss distiller to have obtained a production licence in 2005.
- Opaline is a later version of the Angélique. It was elaborated according to the French conventions in order to please custommers who wanted a more bitter Swiss absinthe.

Claude-Alain Bugnon distilled his first absinthe illegally in 2000.
The following year, having received a recipe from one of his friends, he decided to make a living from distilling.
In 2004, he applies for permission to produce absinthe, and at the end of that same year, he ships his first order to Germany.
A few months later, on the 1st of March 2005, the Federal Council decided to legalize absinthe in Switzerland. The end of this 95 year old abolition pleased everyone.

Very rich, has a certain depth to the flavor beyond the wormwood and anise.
I tried 24 of the 50ml samplers from here and thought Opaline was worth the investment of a full bottle.

An almost perfect absinthe, very nice wormwood profile and the quality of the anise is amazing - no need for sugar at a 3.1 ratio- connoisseurs and novices would definitely appreciate.
By AbsintheMan.com the 04/06/2009
This is an excellent absinthe. Tastes best as a 3 to 1 ratio with a little sugar, and for more experienced drinkers, is great tasting straight up as well. but It is a relaxing, not overpowering absinthe, that you can continue to sip throughout an evening. Be careful. You may end up drinking half of the bottle!
