Absinth Pernod - Recette Traditionnelle 68% - 0,7l

Extremely good absinthe! Try it out. Not as good as the old Pernod Fils, but very close. Refreshing drink.

As expected, amazing service. Item arrived at my place earlier then expected! Thanks a lot for everything

Normale mais va bien pour débuter.
Je la connais déjà depuis quelques années et de temps en temps "j'y retourne".

Pleasant anise prominence with supportive wormwood bitterness.

This is one of my favorite absinthes, definitely top 3.
I have never tasted a pre-ban absinthe, and sadly I don't think I ever will, but this must come pretty close.
Just the name and bottle itself makes for a nice trip to the belle epoque.
The deep green colour is world class, and the louche starts with smoky trails down the glass and builds slowly from the bottom and up.
When louched it is a beautiful opalescent, cloudy bright green.
It fills the room with a wonderful aroma of anise, and that's also the first thing to greet you in the mouth.
This one is quite heavy on the anise and fennel, with a strong finish of bitter wormwood.
A smooth silky feel on the tongue and gomme after a couple of sips, with some bitterness that lingers for a while.
Not the most complex, but a very traditional, and what I think a close representation of a pre-ban, belle epoque absinthe.
I drink this without any sugar, in a 2,5/1 ratio, but those who don't appreciate some bitterness might add a sugar cube.
I will make sure to always have a bottle of Pernods in my bar.

J'en ai acheté une bouteille en France. Je ne me rappelle pas le prix.
Etant du Val de Travers, j'ai "voulu voir" ...
Un scandale !!! C'est une verte merveilleusement bonne.
Hélas meilleure que la plupart de celles du Vallon.

Essayez vous serez déçus en bien ...

Definitely better than Pernod's last attempt. Still well short of Jade's PF 1901.

This absinthe is excellent. It is everything I want with a quality absinthe: beautiful colour, a variety of tastes, each working its own kind of magic on the tongue. An absinthe for those who have never tried it; an absinthe for anyone who desires a quality drink. And I find it does produce a kind of clarity although no green fairies or other hallucinations, just a comfortable and quality drink.

I have been fortunate to have tasted both pre-ban Pernod-Fils & post ban Tarragona. This absinthe is "similar" in taste. The Jade PF actually tastes closer, but this Pernod is reminiscent. It is somewhat drier. Having said that; I cannot wait for the restock. I'm ordering a case. It is exceptionally good!
