Yves Kübler, of the dynasty of the second-largest absinthe distiller in Switzerland, founded the Blackmint» distillery in 1990,with Alexandre Wyss a childhood friend, and the first Aperitif anise´ came onto the market as early as 1990.
The «Rincette» was the first step on the path towards the realisation of his dream, to produce a product that would be as close as possible to his great-grandfather’s original.
On the 10th of October 2001, 91 years and 3 days after the «Interdiction de l’Absinthe», the new «Extrait d’Absinthe Kübler» dripped from the Alambic with official blessings, and, by Christmas, was available in selected specialist shops throughout Switzerland.
