Pernod Absinthe Méthode Traditionnelle is a premium absinthe distilled in the traditional method, featuring a core blend of grand wormwood, green anise, and fennel. The result is a herbal, balanced profile with a distinctive bitter backbone and bright finish. Best experienced using the classic water-dilution ritual to reveal the louche. Pairs well with citrus, olives, and charcuterie; ideal as an aperitif.
