Recent data released from Switzerland confirms the volume of Swiss absinthe (predominantly Blanche) is again in the minority compared to French absinthe (predominantly Verte) as was the case before the absinthe bans of the early 20th Century.
Last month’s figures* were released stating the total volume of absinthe distilled by all Swiss distillers totaled 65,000 litres: La Fée alone distil more absinthe (excluding La Fée X•S Suisse), along with other serious French producers such as Pernod Absinthe.
