Two names on one label
The bottle’s full name is Absinthe un Peureux by Massenez. That is two houses on one label, and it regularly causes confusion.
Un Peureux is the old absinthe brand of Grandes Distilleries Peureux, a distillery in Fougerolles in the Haute-Saône, at the foot of the Vosges. The house has existed since 1864 and grew large with fruit distillates and fruit in alcohol.
Massenez is a distillery in Dieffenbach-au-Val in Alsace. Peureux took over that company in 2011. Since then you find both names on the same bottles.
Besides this absinthe, our online shop also has a Massenez Kirsch Vieux, among the eaux-de-vie.
