What it tastes like.

Appearance: Brilliantly clear, no separation, floaters, pools of oil, etc. Blue-green tint to it. On swirling, leaves a thin coat on the glass with scalloping edge and very thin legs developing. Louche action is negligible as expected – kind of a glow rather than a louche in this case.

First Impression: Mint, the distinctive bitter earthy smell of wormwood, spicy notes- fennel with and somewhat spirity alcohol in background. Sweetish pastis/licorice under the mint/fennel- almost a mentholated smell

Taste: Whew! Almost frosty aromatics to this one. Heavy menthol and fennel blast then slightly drying finish. Sugared and watered down to the appropriate level, it takes more like a mentholated liqueur.

About La Fée.

France ·Est. 2000

La Fée was launched in 2000 by George Rowley as one of the first brands to revive commercial absinthe production in France after the spirit's long ban. The company works with the Musée de l'Absinthe at Auvers-sur-Oise and with historian Marie-Claude Delahaye. The range includes Absinthe Parisienne (French-style) and La Fée Bohémienne (Czech-style), both made to traditional pre-ban recipes.

Bottle questions

Before you open it.

A few practical answers for storage, delivery, and choosing the right bottle.

How should I store it before opening?

Keep it somewhere cool, dark, and steady. Wine prefers cellar temperature; spirits are happier away from heat and direct sunlight.

How long will it keep once opened?

Wine changes quickly after opening; spirits and liqueurs generally hold longer if capped tightly and kept out of heat. If it is a special bottle, ask before opening and the team can give product-specific guidance.

Can I ask for a similar bottle?

Yes. Contact Caravan with this bottle name and the occasion; the team can suggest a close match, a safer gift, or a step up or down in price.

How is it packed for delivery?

Orders are packed in bottle-safe cartons. If anything arrives damaged or looks wrong, contact the team with your order number and a photo so they can sort the next step.

What about hot weather shipping?

The team avoids making one-size-fits-all promises around heat and carrier timing. For heat-sensitive or cellar bottles, contact Caravan before ordering and they can advise the safest dispatch window.

Why Caravan backs La Fée Absinthe

France

Marie-Claude Delahaye, founder of the Auvers-sur-Oise Musée de l'Absinthe, partnered with George Rowley in 2000 to launch La Fée — among the first new absinthe brands in a century, after the spirit's century-long ban across Europe and the United States ended in the late 1990s and early 2000s. The brand played a meaningful role in re-establishing the legitimate-absinthe category outside of underground and Czech-style imitations.
