This regarded anis was first made by George Guy in 1921, with the help of his father Armand and is made using the family’s recipe for their Pontarlier absinthe, but without using the Absinthe plant. It is made by distilling green aniseed in hundred year old still.

Pungent star aniseed becomes more fennel with water.

Fades with lingering liquorice.

Clean, full-favoured star aniseed with a wonderfully milky character with water.
