La Clandestine is a Swiss brand of absinthe, produced by the Artemisia-Bugnon distillery.
It is made in various styles:
- La Clandestine Blanche, supposedly based on a 1935 recipe by the Swiss distiller Charlotte Vaucher,[1] which Claude-Alain Bugnon had been making illegally for several years before a ban on absinthe-making was lifted in 2005.[2][3] The manufacturer recommends serving it without sugar.[4]
- La Clandestine Absinthe Superieure, approved in 2008 by the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for sale in the United States.[6]
