Pernod Absinthe Supérieure is a revival of the original absinthe recipe from the Pernod Fils distillery, which was renowned in the 19th century before absinthe was banned in many countries in the early 1900s. This modern iteration stays true to its roots by using traditional ingredients, including grand wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), green anise, sweet fennel, and a variety of other herbs that contribute to its complex, layered flavor profile. The spirit is distilled following authentic methods and is characterized by its vibrant green hue, which naturally results from the chlorophyll in the botanicals.
On the palate, Pernod Absinthe Supérieure offers a rich tapestry of flavors, with the wormwood providing a firm, bitter backbone complemented by the sweet licorice-like flavors of anise and the aromatic qualities of fennel.
