Pernod
France
Pernod is the oldest French aniseed liqueur (1805). It is a liqueur created in 1920 from distillates of star anise, fennel and 14 other aromatic plants such as coriander and mint. It contains very little liquorice, which distinguishes it from pastis.
Originally, Pernod also contained grand wormwood and was produced at the Pernod Fils factory in Pontarlier. Almost a century after it was banned from sale, a spirit drink made with absinthe according to the traditional recipe has made a comeback at Pernod.
