Switzerland actally it seems, by a Frenchman.


See from makers site:


1792:- French Doctor Pierre Ordinaire distils a strong (68% abv/136� proof) spirit containing wormwood, anise, hyssop and varying amounts of other common herbs as a cure-all tonic. It becomes so popular others start to distil it and is quickly nicknamed 'La F�e Verte' (the green fairy).


Now made in various plaes. Absinth (no 'e') is the Czech spelling. See also : http://www.seborabsinth.com/faqs/absinthe.asp from another makers site
