The distillery of C. F. Berger was founded in Couvet, in the canton of Neufchâtel, Switzerland in 1823. The Berger distillery crafted several Swiss style absinthes, the most famous of these being the C. F. Berger 65º degree absinthe verte, which earned its status as one of the premier absinthes of the 19th century. Unfortunately, absinthe crafting at the C. F. Berger distillery came to a halt with the Swiss ban of 1910, and the distillery ceased all activities in Switzerland shortly thereafter.

This fine Swiss absinthe was almost lost forever if it had not been for the resurfacing of original, unopened bottles, which Jade Liqueurs was able to secure for preservation. Using proprietary analytical techniques, Jade Liqueurs has painstakingly resurrected this beautiful liquor from extinction.

Jade Verte Suisse 65º is an absolutely accurate recreation of the original C. F. Berger 65º absinthe verte, and is identical to the fine original down to incredibly minute details. Our Verte Suisse 65º is crafted entirely by hand using select botanicals from original sources, and is carefully distilled in absinthe alembics that were obtained directly from Pernod Fils in the early 20th century. This absinthe delivers an experience characteristic of the best Swiss style absinthes. Upon tasting our Verte Suisse 65º , the connoisseur will be pleasantly stimulated with the way it quickly asserts its refined fortitude with a bold fragrant scent, full-bodied, rounded mouthfeel, and distinct herbal notes that linger on the palate.

Jade Verte Suisse 65º recalls a century-old tradition of fine Swiss style absinthes, and enables the connoisseur to savor a journey into history. Verte Suisse 65º serves as both an ideal aperitif and digestive to accompany the heartiest of dining selections, and is not overpowered by your favorite Cuban cigar.
