The ban on absinthe was lifted in the United States in 2007 after 92 years. This was achieved through the leadership of Yves Kubler, the 4th generation master distiller of his familys brand. Kubler is the only brand available on the US market that comes from the birthplace of absinthe in the Val-de-Travers, Switzerland and has been in continuous distillation by the same family since its origin in 1863. Kublers authenticity is beyond reproach.
