Introduction:
Pernod Liqueur is France’s oldest anise liqueur, crafted from a blend of star anise, fennel, and 14 botanicals, including coriander and mint. Known for its freshness and complexity, this iconic spirit delivers a refined aniseed profile with a balanced herbal depth. Unlike pastis, Pernod has a lower liquorice content, making it a uniquely versatile choice for classic cocktails and aperitifs.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Aromatic and fresh, with dominant notes of star anise, herbal complexity, and a hint of mint.
- Palate: A smooth blend of aniseed, fennel, and subtle herbal undertones, offering a layered and refreshing experience.
- Finish: Lingering and balanced, with a delicate interplay of sweet and herbal elements.
Pairings
Enjoy neat with chilled water, or use it as a base for classic cocktails like the French Mule or Pernod & Tonic. It also pairs well with seafood dishes, Mediterranean appetizers, and herb-infused cheeses.
