Thierry Racine's L’Opaline is a traditional blanche absinthe distilled in the Val-de-Travers, uniting regional heritage with a refined contemporary approach. Crafted from rigorously selected local botanicals and rooted in family savoir-faire, it reflects both continuity and subtle reinterpretation. Bottled at 54% ABV, this expression reveals a complex yet harmonious aromatic profile. Anise forms a precise foundation, accompanied by balanced herbal layers and vegetal freshness that lend depth without heaviness. The structure remains composed and fluid, offering accessibility while preserving aromatic richness. As a blanche absinthe, L’Opaline emphasizes clarity of distillation and botanical definition. When prepared according to the classic ritual with fresh, cold water, it develops a smooth louche that enhances its balance and reveals its layered finesse.
