Larusee
Larusée is a brand that reinterprets the world of absinthe with passion and tradition. When you open a bottle from this distillery, you are transported into a world of complex flavours that blend wormwood, aniseed and fennel, accompanied by a balanced blend of herbs and spices. Produced in the canton of Neuchâtel, the historic heartland of absinthe, Larusée is distilled using traditional methods, following a 19th-century recipe that has been perfected over the years. This focus on precision and quality makes Larusée one of the finest absinthes on the market.
The brand is committed to traditional production methods, with every detail carried out by hand: from the selection of the ten herbs and aromatic plants, through the precise weighing of the ingredients, to the bottling and sealing of the bottles. Larusée is a masterpiece of craftsmanship that reflects the love and dedication of the Nyfeler family.
As well as absinthe, Larusée also specialises in pastis, gin and liqueurs, always with the same commitment to quality and tradition. The history of Larusée is a family story that dates back to the research of Léon Duvanel, a passionate absinthe enthusiast whose dream became a reality in 2012 with the founding of Larusée.
