About this bottle
Pernod Absinthe Superieure is a French absinthe from Pernod, one of the historic names in the category dating back to the 19th-century absinthe era before its long ban. Made with grande wormwood, anise, fennel, and star anise among other herbs, it's bottled at a high 68% ABV in the traditional style, strong enough to properly louche when water is added. Expect a strong, herbal anise character with wormwood's bitter backbone underneath, built for the classic absinthe ritual rather than casual sipping.
How to drink Pernod Absinthe Superieure
Louche it the traditional way: pour it over a sugar cube on a slotted spoon and slowly drip ice water until it clouds, or use it to build a proper Sazerac.
