- Claude-Alain Bugnon is the first Swiss distiller to have obtained a production licence in 2005.
- The name Charlotte on the label of La Clandestine is that of the woman who first created the recipe, in 1935.
Claude-Alain Bugnon distilled his first absinthe illegally in 2000.
The following year, having received a recipe from one of his friends, he decided to make a living from distilling.
In 2004, he applied for permission to produce absinthe, and at the end of the same year, shipped his first order to Germany.
A few months later, on the 1st of March 2005, the Federal Council decided to legalize absinthe in Switzerland. The end of the 95-year-old prohibition pleased everyone.
For more details, visit the La Clandestine website.
- At first, savour La Clandestine without any sugar. Then, according to your taste, try it slightly sugared.
- For one measure of absinthe (3cl), add 2 to 5 measures of fresh water.
Claude-Alain Bugnon was the first clandestine distiller granted legal status by the Swiss government in the spring of 2005.
For years he had been responsible for a certain quantity of bootlegged absinthe that brought so much attention and status to this small region. His ‘Clandestine' has been and is still considered by many to be the best Swiss La Bleue available today. Claude Alain's custom designed distilling apparatus is located at his premises in Couvet, a former butcher shop!
The alambics each have a capacity of 145 litres, and produce 95 litres of finished absinthe. They are single-walled, rather than duplicating the bain-marie system more commonly used in France. Claude-Alain feels that the fiercer heat gives better extraction of the herbs.

Perhaps my favorite sipping absinthe. Well-balanced and smooth, it works well neat, in a simple louche, or as a part of a spirit-forward cocktail like an Obituary.

Mellow and contemplative. La Clandestine conveys complexity in a gentle and refreshing manner, tastes like silk on water.
Louche is very easy on the eyes, the milky colour makes elevates the experience like drinking aether directly from a neoclassical water fountain.
Personally, 1:3 without sugar is it. But to each their own.
Better together with Monteverdi or Gluck.

Someone else said this is not an absinthe for beginners and I disagree. Very easy to dilute to the correct taste. A 1:3 dilution will give more wormwood, but not so much that it scares away a first time drinker, and a 1:5 will give much more anise and a calm/soothing experience. Right in the middle is a nice happy place for everyone. Like other Swiss absinthe the wormwood is not quite as heavy and this is a very refreshing drink. I would highly recommend this to anyone new to absinthe to find and choose the tastes they prefer.

A superb Bleue style absinthe, from the original Absinthe producing region of Switzerland. I had tried this variety before; served in the traditional way; so upon drinking again, it was very pleasant to be reminded of the smoothness and palate cleansing refreshment of La Clandestine.
Offered at a great price, and the service from Stefanie was second to none. I’ll be back for another order very soon. Cheers!

I was very lucky to have found this lovely Bleue absinthe. It's got to be one of the best absinthes available at the price. It's got a beautiful fast louche and is fine without any sugar. The anise wasn't too overwhelming but is there, and the complexity of this absinthe is what impressed me most. I think it's time to order another bottle from LA Clandestine distillery in the Val-de-Travers region of Switzerland and the birthplace of absinthe distillation process. You can not go wrong with this one, buy a bottle or two and you can thank me later!
