Absinthe Martin is a traditional absinthe from the Val-de-Travers, crafted by the La Valote Martin distillery in Couvet. Rooted in a preserved family recipe and the region’s historic distillation heritage, it reflects a style where clarity, balance, and botanical expression are carefully maintained. Distilled from a selection of around ten classic botanicals, including grande and petite absinthe, lemon balm, hyssop, and peppermint, this 54% expression reveals a harmonious and expressive aromatic profile. Fresh anise unfolds with precision, supported by a structured herbal backbone and delicate floral nuances. The composition remains balanced, with a gentle bitterness that brings depth without dominating the palate. When prepared with fresh, cold water according to the traditional ritual, Absinthe Martin develops a smooth and progressive louche that enhances its aromatic clarity while softening its structure. Elegant and composed, it offers a faithful interpretation of Val-de-Travers absinthe—rooted in tradition and defined by botanical precision.
