Distillation and production

Distillation and production

Production method

Main botanicals are distilled individually and the resulting distillates are then assembled (blended) to achieve the final profile; for green versions a final maceration phase extracts color (chlorophyll). Neutral alcohol (e.g. from beet) or other bases are used depending on the expression; water for dilution is demineralized. Some expressions are distilled at Cherry Rocher distillery and then bottled in Paris; each batch is tasted and approved by experts before packaging.

Distillation

Separate distillation of individual botanicals (partial distillates) followed by assembly and blending; for 'green' versions a final maceration of herbs is performed to obtain natural color (louche). Some references are produced in traditional facilities such as the Cherry Rocher distillery.

Producer history La Fée

The brand was born in the late 1990s as part of the absinthe revival. La Fée stood out for reintroducing traditional production in France after the 20th-century ban, working in collaboration with Marie‑Claude Delahaye (founder and curator of the Musée de l'Absinthe) and other figures involved in the relaunch project. Core versions (e.g. Parisienne) were produced in traditional distillation facilities, and pre-bottling quality control is performed by the brand's managers together with the Musée de l'Absinthe.

Production philosophy

Reconcile historical authenticity with modern control: recipes inspired by the 19th century, natural ingredients, techniques that favor separate distillation of botanicals to ensure reproducibility and consistent quality. Strong attention to preserving natural color and to organoleptic verification before commercial release.

Territory

Produced and distilled in France (distillation in traditional facilities, centralized bottling in Paris), brand and commercial operations with an international logistics hub; commercial presence in Europe, the Americas and Asia Pacific.

Awards and recognitions

La Fée boasts numerous international recognitions (including medals and awards at competitions such as London Spirits Awards, Spirits Business Absinthe Masters, San Francisco World Spirits Competition, Bartender Spirits Awards, Absinthiades), with specific prizes for La Fée Parisienne and other expressions across different years.
