Alan from La Clandestine ...

[alan]

Having seen Ben's introduction and warm welcome, it's time I posted too.

Full confession? After 15 years in high quality global drinks companies (Remy Martin etc), I decided to be more entrepreneurial and started work for La Fée. I even sold some La Fée Bohemian to Praha Airport (Prague to you, Ben). I had two great trips to Praha in 2004 and 2005.

I finally saw the light and started working with Claude-Alain Bugnon in 2006. We sell some cases of La Clandestine in the USA, Canada, Asia and Europe, but none in the Czech Rep so far.

I had the pleasure to meet Martin and Habu two weeks ago in Switzerland. There are some photos on Facebook that will probably be used for blackmail purposes in the future!

Good to be here. Although I work on La Clandestine, I will try to be less secretive round here in future.

Edit: I also do an absinthe blog. http://realabsinthe.blogspot.com/ I used to get a few comments there from anonymous people who didn't like what I said about Czech "absinth ..."

Ahoj Alane.

Hi Alan welcome to high society club

[Martin]

Hi Alan! Even we are in e-mail and skype contact, still want to welcome you here

[Habu]

Cheers Alan!

Thanks for info. It would be great if we could buy stuff from Val de Travers right here in Prague. I contacted this vendor http://www.kratochvilovci.cz today, they sell pretty good stuff, so why they couldn't sell some good absinthe too? May I give them your contact, if they'll answer?

[Martin]

Habu, it wouldn't be necessary I am already in contact with Alan about our cooperation. LaClandestine will be hopefuly here in CR soon
Damn, that should be a surprise!

[Tibro]

Most excellent idea, Habu. That shop is definitely for the most discerning tastes, but lacks any attention to quality absinthe. If anybody might be willing to carry such liquors here it would be them.

[Tibro]

Um, or, we could just rely upon Martin and his contacts.

[Habu]

Damn, that should be a surprise!

Sorry about that. I didn't know about it, you should have told me!
