Pernod Anise 750ml

France's Original Anise Spirit — Since 1805

Pernod is the original French anise spirit — created in 1805 and the direct descendant of the absinthe tradition, reformulated after the absinthe ban to become the pastis-style anise spirit that has been a staple of French aperitif culture ever since. Made from star anise, licorice, and 14 plants and herbs, it delivers a clean, aromatic character that is lighter and more herbal than Ricard, with a distinctly Pernod elegance.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Clean and aromatic. Star anise and licorice lead with a fresh herbal complexity and a subtle floral note.
• Palate: Light and refreshing. Anise and herbs are front and center with a clean, slightly sweet character that opens up beautifully when diluted.
• Finish: Long and cooling. Anise and herbs linger with a refreshing, French close.
