Traditionally enjoyed neat or diluted with chilled water, the absinthe louches gracefully, forming a milky opalescence that releases its delicate aromas and maintains its herbal integrity. The taste is smooth, refreshing, and well-balanced—neither thin nor heavy—with the characteristic woodiness subtly asserting itself with every sip.

François Guy L’Absinthe de Pontarlier is a rare and authentic homage to the spirit of the Belle Époque, crafted in one of the few remaining distilleries preserving traditional absinthe-making techniques. Using recipes and copper stills dating back to the late 19th century, this absinthe remains faithful to its historical roots, offering a taste experience steeped in French heritage.

The flavor profile is defined by anise-forward notes, complemented by hints of aromatic herbs and a restrained bitterness from estate-grown wormwood, creating a layered, sophisticated palate.
