Hedonmonkey Report post Posted November 13, 2014 If I were to have a Christmas wish this year it would be that there was a way to preorder a couple of bottles. <----- uncharacteristically impatient You listening, Santa?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gee13 Report post Posted December 3, 2014 I wonder how different (or similar) this new batch will be for those not fortunate enough to sample previous versions. Given the ingredient sources are slightly different. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evan Camomile Report post Posted December 3, 2014 There are a few of us with bottles from previous releases and we usually get to compare one release to the last. In fact, if you go back in this thread I think you might find some talk about that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gee13 Report post Posted December 4, 2014 Understood Evan but Im referrkng more to the .. to be released version.. previous batches shared the same herb source.. this will be different.. just like Reverie .. the first batch was sourced lically then mk2 and 3 used imported ... Montana WW all very different flavor profiles .. in fact they could have been labelled differently from different distillers.. Question is..for the ultra experts would they be able to tell the new L'ancienne from previous batches in a blind tasting.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Evan Camomile Report post Posted December 4, 2014 I'd imagine so. Some of us are already used to being blindfolded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stefano Rossoni Report post Posted May 5, 2015 Any news regarding a 2015 L'Ancienne batch? I haven't decided yet if I'm gonna make a 2015 batch, but I'll make sure to update you guys when I do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stefano Rossoni Report post Posted May 19, 2016 It's with a heavy heart that I've decided to suspend the production of L'Ancienne indefinitely. There are several factors that contributed to this decision. I prefer not to discuss them publicly, but just know that I did my best to keep the L'Ancienne project going for as long as I could without betraying my ideals. I want to thank all of you who supported me and appreciated my work, I could have not made it without you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Absomphe Report post Posted May 19, 2016 A sad day, this is. Thank you, Stefano, for all the love and incredible flavor that you imparted into the the true work of art that L'Ancienne was and is. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

le5lieb Report post Posted May 20, 2016 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KQveng3Wxz8 A sad day indeed. :( No emoticons here to express the sorrow. I can absolutely respect the decision, Stefano. You will always be the maestro. Such sad sorrow. First we lose the true Sauvage, and now L'Ancienne. While there are many wonderful absinthes available, this is a profound loss. I will treasure my 2012 bottle of L'Ancienne. R.I.P. L'Ancienne. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostorm Report post Posted May 23, 2016 Fortunately I still have a bottle which is more than half full and I'll make sure that I only enjoy this absinthe on very special occasions. On the other hand technically "suspended indefinitely" doesn't mean discontinued, so I'll live in hope that in a few years/decades we'll have another batch of L'Ancienne .

Selmac Report post Posted May 25, 2016 This is a tragedy. I'm glad you decided to walk away rather than compromise. Major props for that, and for making some of the best absinthe I've ever had the pleasure to drink. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
distill my beating heart Report post Posted May 25, 2016 I wholeheartedly second Selmac's observations. One hates to see a fine art/artist slip from our poor world. I respect your integrity, and hope you will be able to practice your art again. (Aren't we selfish!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanPatrick Report post Posted May 26, 2016 (edited) I now deeply regret not saving any of my bottles. They were just too tasty! I feel priveleged to have had so much of a product that will now have an air of legend to it. I hope that you revisit it one day and thank you for not compromising!

redwun Report post Posted June 1, 2016 With Stefano suspending production of his absinthes "indefinitely," and the decline in quality of Pernot brands such as Authentique,Sauvage,and Roquette,I wish I had the forsight,and the will power to archive a couple bottles of each of these to pass down to future generations.Hopefully someone will do this.I wonder how these favorite absinthes of mine will be regarded 100 yrs from now?

belewfripp Report post Posted June 2, 2016 Dunno, but with production currently suspended I have half a mind to grab about a half dozen bottles of Marteau. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
