How Absinthe Is Made

Does Absinthe make you Hallucinate? Why was it banned? How was it Legalized? The episode explains this and more as I got to learn all about Absinthe from Yves Kübler owner of Kübler Absinthe in the Val-de-Travers, Switzerland.
The legalization of absinthe in Switzerland and the United States is largely due to Yves Kübler's lobbying efforts.
➡️ The United States Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB) approved the Absinthe formula for Kübler Absinthe in 2004 and approved the product for sale in the United States in May 2007 after three years of discussions among Kübler, Food and Drug Administration, TTB, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection. These discussions proved to be instrumental in opening the door for many brands of absinthe to be legally sold or produced in the United States.
➡️ In 2001, the Swiss ban was lifted, and the brand was revived by Fritz's great grandson Yves (a fifth generation Kübler), who runs the distillery only a few miles from its original site in the Val-de-Travers.
➡️ Kübler was launched in 1863 by J. Fritz Kübler in Môtiers, Switzerland. Môtiers is the capital of the Val-de-Travers, the birthplace of absinthe. This region sits near the eastern border of France. Fritz opened the Blackmint Distillery in 1875, and received numerous awards and medals in competitions around the European theater before the Swiss government banned absinthe in 1910.

Great educational video Jeff! I tried absinthe for the first time about 10 years ago. I rather liked the taste. Growing up in an Italian- Canadian household, I’ve been accustomed to drinking apertivi and digestivi aromatic beverages including anice, amaro, sambucca, centerbe, etc. Salute!

@JAllenKaiser 3 года назад

I commend you on your choice of Kübler as the distillery to exemplify authentic absinthe in its traditional style and delicate complexity. Shortly after Absinthe was finally re-legalized in the United States, Kübler was, at the time, the finest extant example of true absinthe...and it remains the finest example of true absinthe to this day. Cheers to your excellent content which showcases the vintners', brewers' and distillers' artform so very well, indeed. I only wish I had found this channel as you were producing each of these videos in real time.

@drinkdestinations 3 года назад

Thanks so much for writing this. I spend a lot of time researching breweries, wineries, distilleries to find the best stories like Kübler. I’ve learned so much and I can tell you during this pandemic I’ve worked a lot on pre production and making the stories even better. I’m going to be focusing more on beer styles, whisky from Texas to Tasmania and how spirits like Armagnac and Mezcal are made. I’m excited for what the future holds and couldn’t do this without support from people like you. I appreciate it and will continue to get better at my craft and share what I’m learning with the world .

@f.c.laukhard3623 4 года назад

Another interesting name, this time German. As you probably know, lots of family names are derived from professions and this is also the case here. "Kübler" is a regional name for the profession "Küfer", other regional names are Faßbinder, Bender, Böttcher or Schäffler among various others. One name is also "Küper" or "Kuper". Kuper in German is pronounced cooper and here you can already see what profession it is since the English name for the profession is indeed cooper: Somebody who makes barrels. Very fitting for a producer of spirits. Although... "kübeln" is also a colloquial term for vomiting so the less nice translation would be "Puker" or something like that which would make it less attractive for a spirit producer unless you take it as a warning not to drink too much even though it tastes deliciously. :D

@drinkdestinations 4 года назад

@sandyrussell1615 4 года назад

I am writing a paper on absinthe production and found there to be very little information online so this really helps. one question i have is to what temperature is the mixture heated to (post maceration) in order to start collecting the distillate? is it around 95-100 Deg C?

@drinkdestinations 4 года назад

Great question and I’m sure if you ask different distillers your answers to those temperatures may vary and the reason is temperature of your still varies in different spots. There are three key places on your still where you should monitor the temperature - the pot boiler, the top of the column, and the condenser coil. For Absinthe you will start the distillate at a range of 173 - 195 degrees F or above 78.4ºC in the still. The alcohol boils at a lower temperature than water, so the steam that rises will be mainly alcohol. Hope this helps, and let me know if you have any questions. Cheers and glad the video helped. -Jeff

@@drinkdestinations Even better. Though, sorry, that was probably unnecessary. Just one of those nails on a chalkboard, knee jerk reaction sort of things. You should come back in June for the Fête de l'Absinthe de Boveresse.

Henry Swantner no worries brotha. It isn’t the first time I say the wrong pronunciation and won’t be the last. But your right, I need to do better at pronouncing words and saying better. 👊🏻👊🏻👊🏻-Jeff

Is this real absinthe the green fairy?

@drinkdestinations 4 года назад

Yes this is the real deal. Be careful of stuff that is macerated and has colouring and additives. That is the stuff that gives absinthe a bad rap. Also I always tell people that if you don’t like anise taste or black licorice then you won’t like absinthe. -Jeff

@@drinkdestinations how does this differ from Pernod?

@drinkdestinations 4 года назад

Sam Fosdick Pernod was one of the original Absinthe makers as well in France. They are a reputable brand for Absinthe and flavor differs from distillery to distillery but all will h e that distinct Anise flavor. During prohibition Pernod took out the wormwood and made another product called Pastis which is still popular in France.

@samfosdick9874 4 года назад

@@drinkdestinations ahhh... I visited a friend in Paris in the 80s. As I recall the Pernod was mixed with cold water and became cloudy. I rather enjoyed it. Your video now has renewed my interest in these spirits! Thanks from an old worn out vet!
