Pernod is made from the essence of star anise, with fruits from trees growing in North Vietnam.
Key Flavours
Herbal
Vegetal
Bitter
Serve
The recipe includes mint, chamomile, hyssop and coriander amongst many other botanicals but the main stars of the show and the dominant flavours here are booming anise and fennel.
Process
When the decision to ban absinthe was passed in 1915, Pernod had a novel idea to circumvent the laws. They created a new recipe (made in the same way) that tasted of anise but did not include artemisia wormwood.
People
The story of Pernod begins in 1805 when Henri-Louis Pernod established the Pernod Fils company in Pontarlier, France to produce his eponymous absinthe. The company has now become Pernod Ricard.
Place
Pernod Anise played a key role in French aperitif culture (and still does). It re-polarised the drink in a post absinthe world, and without both it and the likes of Ricard, French drinking culture would not be what it is today.
