Preiss Imports, Ramona, Calif., added La Fee Absinthe Parisienne, La Fee Absinthe Blanche, and La Fee NV Absinthe Verte to their portfolio of unique international spirits.
La Fee’s Managing Director & Owner, George Rowley, is credited with the world-wide modern revival of traditional Absinthe spirits. In 1998, upon return from the Czech Republic (and having experienced relics of the near-forgotten spirit), Rowley arrived in France with the express intention of the reversing the roughly 80-year ban on Absinthe.
Rowley and Marie-Claude Delahay, founder and curator of Le Musee d l’Absinthe, Auvers-sur-Oise, France, set about to recreate the original 19th century recipe. Their success became La Fee, the first traditional Absinthe to be commercially produced since 1914.
