Rediscovered after more than a century, Pernod Absinthe Supérieure revives the original 19th-century recipe that once defined the golden age of absinthe. Crafted in France with the same dedication to authenticity that made the brand legendary, this absinthe captures the spirit of the Belle Époque in a modern bottle. Using grand wormwood, anise, fennel, and an array of aromatic botanicals, it delivers a bold yet balanced expression of this historic spirit.
Distilled using traditional methods and naturally colored through the maceration of herbs, Pernod Absinthe Supérieure achieves its signature green hue and complex flavor profile. The result is a refined, sophisticated absinthe that bridges tradition and innovation—perfect for both classic cocktails and the traditional absinthe ritual.
Appearance: Vibrant yellow-green that transforms to a milky opalescence when water is added.
Aroma: Opens with bright herbal intensity—wormwood and anise up front—followed by layers of green herbs, citrus, and subtle floral tones.
Palate: Dry and elegantly bittersweet, highlighting anise, fennel, and wormwood in perfect balance. Underneath, earthy botanicals and gentle spice lend depth and structure.
Finish: Long and persistent, with a clean herbal fade and a pleasant lingering bitterness that invites another sip.
This absinthe is a masterclass in balance—complex yet approachable, intense yet refined. Despite its high proof, its elegance and integration make it smooth and inviting when properly diluted.
Traditional Ritual: Pour one ounce of Pernod Absinthe into a glass, place a slotted spoon and sugar cube over it, and slowly drip three to seven parts of cold water until the liquid clouds (the “louche”).
Cocktail Applications: A perfect addition to classic cocktails such as the Sazerac, Corpse Reviver #2, or Death in the Afternoon. Its clean herbal backbone also enhances modern craft cocktails, offering depth without overpowering other ingredients.
Neat or Over Ice: For the adventurous palate, Pernod Absinthe can also be savored in small amounts over ice or lightly diluted with cold water to open up its botanical aromas.
