The Vieux Pontarlier is historical absinthe carefully distilled in the Emile Pernot distillery. This absinthe is distilled in very old copper alembics (more than 100 years old) using Pontarlier wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), which is considered the most fragrant in the world, Provencal fennel seeds, green anise seeds, and a variety of additional aromatic herbs and spices are meticulously selected for this recipe.

Faithful to the tradition, no sugar of any kind was added, its intense and refreshing taste is obtained solely from the combination of plants and our master distiller’s skills.

A Double Gold winner at the 2008 San Francisco World Spirits Competition, this also received five stars from critic F. Paul Pacult.

This small-batch absinthe is crafted on 100-plus-year-old alembic stills using instructions, techniques, and equipment from the 19th century, as well as regionally grown wormwood, to create historically accurate absinthe. Incredibly aromatic, with scents of Provençal fennel and Spanish anise seed leading the charge, with alpine herb, menthol, and spice notes coming through once you add just a little water. No sugar is added, making this a uniquely refreshing absinthe.

Its peridot green color turns into opalescent clouds during the absinthe ritual where a slow drip of iced water is added from a carafe or fountain.

Its taste, subtle mix of bright anise, alpine herbs, and wormwood with mentholated notes, makes the Vieux Pontarlier absinthe the refreshing and powerful drink par excellence.

TASTING NOTES:

Pale peridot green. Slowing dripping ice-cold water produces a lightly green-tinged and billowy opalescent cloudiness. The aroma is fresh, yet slightly briny and spicy with lightly mentholated and cacao notes. The flavors are multi-layered, the grape spirit provides a complex base for subtle herbal undertones, the anise and fennel seed are sweet yet, well balanced, highlighting the minty/menthol taste of true Pontarlier wormwood.
