Three Pre-ban Swiss Absinthe Brands

Submitted by brian on Fri, 06/11/2010 - 02:01.

I found a reference to three Swiss absinthe brands from the 1850-60s.

These brands and descriptions can be found in British & foreign spirits: their history, manufacture, properties, etc. By Charles Tovey
Published in 1864.

Gillard, Elise, and Co.— Absinthe, green. Extremely delicate.; character good.
August Lueba.— Absinthe and Gentian Water. Excellence of character.
Bosselet-Dubied.— Kirschwasser and Absinthe. General excellence.
