Firstly, a historic video. This was filmed for the Thirsty Traveler in Switzerland in 2004 (when many of today's absinthes had not even been conceived), while La Clandestine was still illegal and while Claude-Alain was distilling in the laundry room in his house! Kevin, thanks for the film.

Now a collection of videos from YouTube. Please see instructions below the video ...

"The Truth about Absinthe" and "How to serve Absinthe" are two excellent videos featuring Stéphane Ostiguy, President of the Dieu du Ciel bar in Montreal (our first on-premise outlet in North America).

La Clandestine in Japan is actually a video made by our Japanese partner to show to consumers in Japan. Great shots of making absinthe and you don't need to speak Japanese to understand what is going on.

Absinthe lovers love to "louche." So thanks to Hugue from Montreal for the excellent La Clandestine "louching" video! Seeing this should make it clear why taking your time to enjoy absinthe the way its distiller wants you to enjoy it is essential. And so much better than burning the distiller's creation!

The fifth video is one of a very interesting series made by Paul Nathan of San Francisco for Absintheology.

The sixth video was made by Absinthe-Shop.com and compares the "louches" of La Clandestine and the Recette Marianne. Beautifully produced! And the video is good too.
