Duplais Verte, first Swiss “Verte” since the legilisation of absinthe on 1st of March 2005, is very appreciated by connoisseurs. Probably the greenest absinthe and the most herbaceous.
In 2006 it won the gold medal at the “International Wine and Spirit Competition” in London.
It is the first absinthe of the Duplais trio “Absinthe Art Edition”
Produced according to an authentic French recipe from the XIXth century, (drawn from the treaty of liquor production by P. Duplais), it is coloured naturally, using only plants, and does not contain any sugar.
As well as its older sisters,
Duplais Verte is the product of a distillation that uses only high quality herbs mainly grown in the Val-de-Travers.
An absinthe impressive for its colour as well as for its aromas !
Nose : Powerful. It suggests very precise herbaceous notes.
Palate : Fresh, a beautiful harmony. The anise combines itself perfectly with the rest (fruity fennel, lemony Melissa) while the grand wormwood arrives progressively.
Finish : Long and persistent on notes of fennel and bitterness.
- Many absinthe drinkers wished to see
Duplais Verte’s distillation based on wine alcohol. However, tests have proven that it did not make much difference. Its production is therefore made using neutral alcohol (cheaper)
- The label of
Duplais Verte is the work of David Tibet, musician and artist, member of the group Current 93
The legalisation of absinthe in Switzerland enabled Markus Lion to join Oliver Matter in the production of the Duplais absinthes.
Duplais Verte was produced first in July 2005, followed by Duplais Blanche in September of that same year, and Duplais Balance one year later.
- At first, savour
Duplais Verte with half a piece of sugar. Then according to your taste, add more or less.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measure of fresh water.
