Two mignonettes (Absinthe La fée Blanche & Absinthe La fée Parisienne) and an absinthe spoon for a lovely discovery.
Tasting notes of La fée Blanche
Nose
Fine, sublte. Star anise and spearmint are the first scents that come to mind. With freshness, it evolves on liquorice and absinthe. Particularly aromatic and balanced, notes of fennel make their appearance. With water, it reveals fresh fruit (quince, apple), citrus fruits (orange, andarin). It evokes an almond liqueur.
Mouth
Seductive in its frankness and full-bodied character. Warm spices (cinnamon, cumin, star anise) and aromatic plants (bay leaf, infused mint) are intimately linked to notes of eucalyptus and grated ginger. The absinthe leaves literally spill out of the glass.
Finish
Long tender. Medicinal (cough drops), it reveals new spices (nutmeg, saffron). Airy, it diffuses an exquisite scent of orange blossom. Earthy, it develops gentian root and ginseng. Therapeutic, it offers cordial notes of juniper berries. The after taste concentrates on medicinal plants and the empty glass is delicately powdered.
Tasting notes of La fée Parisienne
Nose
The first nose oscillates between liquorice, star anise and aromatic plants (thyme, oregano). With water, it opens up to notes of white mint and peppermint.
Palate
The palate is finely liquoriced. Coriander, star anise and ginger form its warming core.
Finish
The finish is delicately smoky and roasted (tobacco).

Génépi liqueur 1821 is one of Dolin’s flagship products. This famous plant, emblematic of the Alps, grows above 1800 meters in altitude, among rocks and snowfields. Based on an original recipe written 200 years ago, our liqueur combines floral and herbal flavors with the elegant character of a premium spirit. The sprig of génépi slipped into the bottle slowly infuses the golden-green liquid, releasing its aromas—an herbalist’s secret that enhances its character and makes it an exceptional mountain spirit.
Nordés is produced slowly and with great care. A careful selection of the best neutral alcohols, together with the use of white Albariño Galician grapes, are the indispensable base of our gin, giving Nordés its unmistakable fresh and soft character.

Etsu is one of the first Japanese gins on the market. Etsu means "PLEASURE" in Japanese. This gin was developed by the Asahikawa distillery in Hokkaido, following the story of an ancestral Asian recipe that requires various herbs, spices, and citrus fruits, some of which can only be found in Asia (berries, peppers, citrus fruits...). The distinctive feature of Etsu gin lies in the persistent presence of orange and yuzu peels, the latter being a yellow citrus fruit very popular in Asia.
