Guess what I got as an early Xmas present? Believe me ... I've already had a few test samples and I can give the thumbs up to this wonderful nectar!

Pernod is now launching a new product “Pernod aux extraits de plantes d’absinthe”. Like the product sold in the 19th century, this new spirit has an alcohol content of 68° and contains no added sugar, but with thujone content in accordance with the legislative constraints in force. Made from extracts of "roman wormwood", "wormwood" and a blend of other aromatic herbs, this drink is inspired by the old formula.

Absinthe became the source of inspiration to many painters and poets and enjoyed immense popularity both in France and throughout 19th century Europe.

Inspired by the original recipe, Pernod with absinthe plant extacts is produced in compliance with current legislation. You can enjot it in the traditional way, by adding water poured onto a sugar lump, or simply diluted with iced water. According to legend, we owe this elixir to "Docteur Ordinaire", a French doctor in exile in Switzerland. In 1805, the Pernod Fils Company from Pontarlier in France began distilling the secret formula. Absinthe was the subject of much stormy, impassioned debate, and was banned in 1915 in France.
