History of Absinthe
Early years 1800s
Absinthe was born in Couvet, Switzerland at the end of the 18th century as a digestive centered around the medicinal plant wormwood - artemisia absinthium, the herb absinthe takes its name.
The spirit is traditionally naturally green, coloured by maceration of plants.
Production quickly moved to Pontarlier in France where wormwood grew in abundance. Absinthe distilling then spreads throughout France.
Mid 19th Century
French government issue absinthe to soldiers in North Africa, to ward off disease. Returning troops contributed to making the drink popular in the cafes.
Old Absinthe House, New Orleans. Here in 1874 Cayetano Ferrer created the Absinthe Frapp
Absinthe becomes widely exported around the world. New York, New Orleans and as far as China, enjoyed by millions in the heyday of the Belle poque 1871 to 1914.
Many believe absinthe to be the ultimate cocktail enhancement...
Death of Absinthe
Swiss absinthe ban 7th October 1910
\Messieurs... c'est l'heure!\ \Gentlemen... it is time!\
Swiss absinthe historically was mainly a local spirit and the ban was enforced following a referendum.
Best known as 'bootleg' white absinthe - to try and hide it after the ban.
The more popular French green absinthe survived being banned for another 5 years.
USA 1912
USA ban on absinthe predated prohibition by 8 years. The ban was based on thujone. 12th July 1912.
Reasons for the bans:
- Temperance movement
- French wine producers
- Outbreak of WW1
- Some poor quality products all helped the demise of absinthe
Italy was one of the last countries to ban absinthe following a referendum in 1930s. Absinthe was consigned to history until our intervention!
France 1914/1915
French absinthe ban \suppression de l'absinthe' 16th March 1915
France follows the Swiss and USA bans at the outbreak of WW1.
Poster depicts absinthe as an alluring woman at the stake, looking across to Switzerland to her sister already residing in the heavens!
Real absinthe dies, to be returned 85 years later by La Fee, May 2000.
Absinthe Resurrection
A band of four started absinthe renaissance
- George Rowley
- John Moore
- Tom Hodgkinson
- Gavin Pretor-Pinney
April 1998 Rowley applied EU directive for spirits crafting the legal status absinthe uses to this day.
Purchasing rare elements (inc. thujone) from USA, which he gifted to Prague
University, they carried out 1st commercial tests for him since 1915 ban, proving absinthe with thujone, was within EU limits to imbibe, enabling absinthe return at The Groucho Club, Soho, London, November 1998.
Real absinthe returned to France by La Fee May 2000
Rowley soon after starts work with Marie-Claude Delahaye, absinthe museum owner and world renowned absinthe expert and historian.
Purchasing rare elements (inc. thujone) from USA, which he gifted to Prague
