About this bottle
Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe Française Supérieure is craft-distilled in Pontarlier, France — the historic center of absinthe production — using wormwood sourced from the same region long considered the finest available for the spirit. It's built from a grape spirit base with anise and fennel carrying the sweetness, while Pontarlier wormwood brings the minty, menthol character that defines a proper absinthe rather than a modern substitute. The nose comes across fresh with a slightly briny, spiced edge and light notes of cacao. Bottled at a serious 130 proof, it's meant to be diluted, not sipped straight. This is a traditionalist's absinthe rather than a novelty bottle, made close to where the spirit itself was born.
How to drink Vieux Pontarlier Absinthe
Pour a measure over a sugar cube on an absinthe spoon and slowly drip ice water through it until it clouds — the classic louche. That dilution isn't optional at this proof; it's what turns the anise and wormwood into something drinkable.
