Ricard Anise 750ml

France's Most Iconic Pastis — Since 1932

Ricard is the pastis that defined a category and a culture. Created by Paul Ricard in Marseille in 1932, it is made from star anise, licorice root, and a blend of Provence herbs that delivers the characteristic anise-forward character that has made it the most consumed spirit in France. Pour it over ice, add cold water, and watch it louche — the ritual of the French aperitif hour, unchanged for nearly a century.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Intensely aromatic. Star anise and licorice lead with a fresh Provence herb character and a clean, Mediterranean depth.
• Palate: Bold and refreshing. Anise and licorice are front and center with a clean, herbal complexity that opens up beautifully when diluted with cold water.
• Finish: Long and cooling. Anise and herbs linger with a refreshing, French close.
