Pernod (brand)[edit | edit source]
Pernod is a French company that produces anise-flavored liqueurs and spirits. The company was established in 1805 by Henri-Louis Pernod and is one of the oldest distilleries in the world.
History[edit | edit source]
The Pernod brand was born in the early 19th century when Henri-Louis Pernod opened the first absinthe distillery in Switzerland. In 1805, he expanded his operations to Pontarlier, France, where he began large-scale production of absinthe, a popular spirit of the time.
Products[edit | edit source]
Pernod's original product was absinthe, a highly alcoholic spirit made from wormwood, anise, and other herbs. However, absinthe was banned in many countries in the early 20th century due to health concerns. As a result, Pernod shifted its focus to other anise-flavored spirits, most notably Pernod Anise and Ricard Pastis.
Pernod Anise[edit | edit source]
Pernod Anise is a less potent version of absinthe, without the wormwood. It is often served with water and ice, which turns the drink milky white.
Ricard Pastis[edit | edit source]
Ricard Pastis is another anise-flavored spirit produced by Pernod. It is similar to Pernod Anise but has a slightly different flavor profile, with a stronger licorice taste.
Pernod Ricard[edit | edit source]
In 1975, Pernod merged with another French spirits company, Ricard, to form Pernod Ricard. Today, Pernod Ricard is one of the largest alcohol companies in the world, with a portfolio of over 200 brands.
