In the copper stills of the new Thuir distillery, Pontarlier wormwood and green anise are distilled after maceration in wine alcohol. The heart of the high-quality distillate is then macerated again in the presence of a rich aromatic bouquet of star anise, lemon balm, petite wormwood, hyssop and nettle, which gives it its beautiful color.<br \/>\nFrom October, the new dedicated production site will reveal to all the hidden face of production as it was in the old days. &#8220;The launch of the new distillery in Thuir is proof of our commitment to long-term growth for the brand and the category as a whole. We have ensured that the various stages of the Pernod Absinthe distillation process are faithful to traditional methods,&#8221; said Mathieu Sabbagh, Pernod&#8217;s International Director.    <\/p>\n<p>PERNOD ABSINTHE, A RITUAL<br \/>\nFrom bottle to glass, the ritual of absinthe consumption is accompanied by authentic gestures. Pernod Absinthe is reviving the traditional French service of the late 19th century, with a line of branded utensils (fountains, glasses, spoons) signed by the young and talented<br \/>\ndesigner, Pierre Gonalons. It is served identically from Montmartre to Williamsburg: one measure of absinthe, 5 measures of water&#8230;<br \/>\nThe history of the cocktail also meets that of absinthe. Born in the 19th century in the Absinthe House in New Orleans, the &#8220;Sazerac&#8221; cocktail was a pioneer. More recently, Charles Vexenat (worldwide brand ambassador) created the &#8220;Green Beast&#8221; (Pernod Absinthe, lime, sugar syrup, fresh water, cucumber, ice cubes). Whether reviving classic cocktails or reinterpreting them, absinthe remains a bar staple. The bartenders&#8217; mixes, sometimes faithful, sometimes innovative, constantly twist the history of absinthe. More than ever, absinthe remains a bar staple.<br \/>\nPernod Absinthe is writing a new page in its history! Attached to its roots, it celebrates its past and renews its future in a new bottle that tells all at once.        <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pernod Absinthe takes us back to the history of absinthe in the 19th century, when absinthe sold 6 times more than wine and artists all over the world swore by&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":637390,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[30493],"tags":[65266,60728],"class_list":["post-2029376","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-wines-and-spirits","tag-pernod","tag-pernod-absinthe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2029376","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2029376"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2029376\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/637390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2029376"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2029376"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.luxsure.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2029376"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
